Why worry? Google, Facebook, and Apple have personal information on billions of people and they sell it, without owner permission, and make billions. There should be claims against every one of these entities for breaching personal privacy rights.
the Fedgov hacking us and giving our identities to illegals and “refugees”?
IRS has all your personal information. Their agents often covertly sell it to other criminals on the outside. This is part of why several million fraudulent returns are filed every year. Someone filed one in my name 2 years ago and it is still an open case.
I didn’t know that agents sold data very often, although it stands to reason that every potential corruption vacuum will be filled.
What I have heard is that the IRS is very slow—some would say deliberately slow—to help in cases of clear identity theft. Some say that “comes from the top” as many thefts of SSN numbers are a convenience to illegals who need to have a fake one to work. Screw the law-abiding citizen.

More than 30% of their employees are Africans. More than 2 million fraudulent returns filed in 2014 alone, the same year I was ripped off. They have not allowed me to file a return since then and I paid more than $50,000 in federal income tax in 2015, but no returned allowed means I didn’t get credit.
The irony is that most of the “people” that they hacked are email addresses used to email spam.
Two comments:
1) Government is a sinkhole for affirmative action. Combine it with civil service protections, the SEIU unionization of government, and the increasing power of government, and we have a new ruling class built up from our former minorities. Perverse.
2)When you say they don't let you file a return, how do you pay taxes, whether the withheld from salary type, or the estimated type, to comply with the law?
Well .. LifeLock stops all intrusions; along with Norton, I don’t have issues.
Well, the claim is only valid if they DON’T HAVE TO FULFILL IT .. BECAUSE THEIR PROGRAM KEPT THE USER SAFE.
You’re not required to use them .. it doesn’t matter to me.
And .. Norton tells me if somebody tried to launch a “Trojan” onto my system .. and it says who tried to do it.
Well, I’ve never had Trojans, malware, etc. .. but you can do whatever you want.
Oh yeah, LifeLock already told me about a try several months ago.
I don’t care what other people do. I’ll stick with what works for me; of course, I don’t go to weird places; or use otherwise suspicious websites .. that may have a lot to do with it.
Payroll taxes are auto removed and we are told me must file quarterly estimates just as before for my wife and my side business. I have always had a side business outside my 50 hour regular job in higher education, a shithole of PC intolerance and deceptions.
OK - what’s going on? Not the hacking part - but the Verizon plan to buy Yahoo!? I thought AT&T + Yahoo! were already partners...
But as to the claim of “state-sponsored hackers” - My first assumption would be the US Federal Government would be the “state sponsor”...
Nah.... its the Obama justice department...
