Kind of like how every single SSN was exposed during the Biden admin?

Look, I get it you don't like Elon but the lazy partisan blows are just kind of last year at this point...

How did the Biden administration in particular contribute to making it easier for the National Public Data data breach to happen? National Public Data was a private data broker that offered background checks services scraped personal information including SSNs from public data sources, failed to protect it, and went bankrupt from lawsuits (deserved). Did the Biden administration do anything comparable to allowing unelected people with no accounting or security experience bypass the usual government employment process and access Treasury data?
