need to check their account escapes me. But millions more requests than usual? That would probably bring down most computer systems.

When is Trump going to denaturalize folks so we can send Musk back to South Africa? Would be the one good thing that could come out of that.

I haven't had any issues and hope it stays that way.

https://www.ssa.gov/

Then: https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL/SiView.action

Then: https://secure.login.gov/

And then the text a six digit code and you're in.

IMO, our congresscritters aren't being nearly vocal enough about this bullshit.

Anyone know what;s going on?

There is some strange stuff going on.

I got an email today that I thought was odd. (It says it is from no-reply@ssa.gov.) It supposedly is providing a link to my SS statement. I am not clicking on the hyperlink.

So I logged in the way I set up when I first went on SS. And I was able to log in, but - it then said I had to create either a login.gov or ID.me acct. I exited, until I can find out more about this.

I looked up what login.gov is. I am not pleased about the possibility it might also ask me for a photo ID. That does not seem right. I am calling my Senator on Monday to find out more.

I saw someone on DU last night say something about getting a strange text, that was representing itself as being from SS.

…and some people have apparently logged in to find data missing.

THEY’RE CHANGING THE CODE - LIVE.

I’m in IT. (Thus the name “CousinIT)

THIS IS A CRITICAL SYSTEM.

YOU DON’T FUCKING *DO* THAT.

BUT THEY’RE DOING THAT. These are assholish and arrogant little shits.

And I’m 99% certain they are embedding backdoors into the system as well. Probably funnelling money to - whoever, from the trust fund. Theft, IOW.
