Trump admin says Social Security database wasn’t “leaked, hacked, or shared”

The Trump administration has denied allegations that the Social Security Administration's (SSA) database, known as NUMIDENT, was "leaked, hacked, or shared." This comes in response to troubling whistleblower claims that the database, which contains sensitive personal information, may have been compromised. The SSA has assured the Senate that the NUMIDENT database remains secure and that there is no evidence of any unauthorized access or data breach. The administration has emphasized that the agency takes the security of this information very seriously and has robust measures in place to protect it. While the whistleblower's allegations have raised concerns, the SSA's assurances aim to reassure the public that the personal data of millions of Americans is being safeguarded. The administration has stated that it will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate actions to ensure the continued integrity of the NUMIDENT database.
