Charles Borges, the Social Security Administration's chief data officer, resigned after alleging that sensitive data of over 300 million Americans was improperly stored on a vulnerable server. His whistleblower complaint accused the agency's CIO of violating policies, potentially exposing Americans to identity theft. Borges claims he faced retaliation, creating a hostile work environment. The SSA denies any data breach, but internal morale is reportedly low.
