st1nger :unverified: 🏴☠️ :linux: :freebsd:<p>Elon Musk has appointed a team of technologists from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> to "rewrite the code that runs the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSA</span></a> in months." This codebase has over 60 million lines of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/COBOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COBOL</span></a> and handles record keeping for all American workers and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/payments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>payments</span></a> for all Social Security recipients. DOGE aims to migrate all SSA systems off COBOL ... and onto a more modern replacement like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Java</span></a> within a scheduled tight timeframe of a few months. After all, what could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/doge-rebuild-social-security-administration-cobol-benefits/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wired.com/story/doge-rebuild-s</span><span class="invisible">ocial-security-administration-cobol-benefits/</span></a></p>
