SSA Commissioner Threatens Lockdown Over Data Access

Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner Leland Dudek has warned that employees will be barred from accessing computer systems if the agency is ordered to comply with a court ruling blocking its access to sensitive taxpayer data. The threat comes in response to a judge’s order halting the SSA’s involvement with the U.S. Department of Defense Exchange (DOGE Service), which handles taxpayer data for DoD agencies.
