Headlines, very often, are little more then poorly constructed sentence fragments used to get the reader’s attention.

In this case it says “stealing social securities of elderly, dead” which seems pretty accurate as far as headlines go. It just leaves out little kids. Probably because they can’t vote. Yet.

"n this case it says “stealing social securities of elderly, dead” which seems pretty accurate as far as headlines go."

It's not accurate at all. No "social securities" were stolen. Social security numbers were stolen not the accounts themselves.

If someone steals your bank account number and deposits cash in it, it's still fraud, but not a theft of your account.
