As for her social security number, that wasn’t released. The last 4 numbers are X’s just the same way the government and the banks do it when they send things to me online. I doubt anything was breached here.
4 digits means the SSN is narrowed down to a mere 10000 different possibilities.
That is obviously true however her social security number was not released in the way the title of this thread originally lead me to believe. Since we demand the media to be accurate in their reporting (which is hopeless) the least we can do is be precise in our claims. JMO.
