The Tesla appointee wants to hook up SSNs (and presumably other admin data) via APIs to your Logingov account.
For better or worse most of the data the federal gov has on you is very siloed (& often then bought back), this would create new infosec risks & ventures closer to a National ID.

New from 404 Media: inside the gov meeting where Musk ally laid out plans for data sharing across gov/AI. We got audio. In the call an employee pushed back and said the plan would be “illegal.” Musk ally said “we should still push forward and see what we can do.” www.404media.co/things-are-g...

So, I made this beautiful art to describe the logingov next-gen vendor situation.
Also, did you know that TSA precheck enrollment is done by CLEAR, IDEMIA, and Telos?
The vendors matter because of gov dependence on data brokers, lobbying & influence, and the downstream effects of data breaches.

Proofs/🧾 are out of 60 day range (& bc DOGE, it takes WEEKS to get benefit letters; IDme/logingov won't accept my ID, so I might not be able to complete in time)
Balances I wrote don't = my account when they verified (Bc: 2 months ago!)

1/ If you've ever verified your identity on login.gov (IRS, Social Security, VA), here's something I found this week.
The government's signed privacy report says login.gov doesn't keep the photo of your license or your face. The public code keeps both. 🧵

2/ Pauli effect also bit with dealing with Logingov. Their 7 step password recovery is stalled at step three when I’m supposed to message in a photo of my ID but their system won’t deliver it over and over. The Omaha SS office doesn’t take walk-ins and doesn’t do personal face to face appointments.

US Government's Login.gov System Vulnerable to Cyberattacks, Say Auditors
The US government's Login.gov identity verification system could be vulnerable to a cyberattack or a simple routine IT incident, according to auditors. The US Government Accountability Office reported on Tuesday that Login.gov, managed by the federal government, has not demonstrated that its backup testing policy is actually used or effective. This could lead to serious problems in the event of a cyberattack or IT failure.

I've tried to sign in with my PW for weeks. Finally got a callback today after requesting one 3.5 hour earlier. It takes me to authentication after I put PW at login.gov. then it takes me through the same process again. Not sure why it's doing that. Wish I didn't have it thru logingov website
