Nearly every American's Social Security number may have been leaked, with a hacking group claiming they stole nearly 3 billion records of personal information. A massive database containing over 2.7 billion records has reportedly ended up on a criminal forum. These records belong to individuals in the U.S. and were allegedly stolen from National Public Data (NPD). While the accuracy of the leaked data could not be verified, the hackers reportedly obtained sensitive information such as names, mailing addresses and Social Security numbers. The scale of this breach is so vast that if you live in the U.S., it's likely that some of your data is included."

As a patriot I don’t fear foreign hackers as much as I fear gubmint agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, and IRS.

Sadly the J6er’s have been forgotten.

The congressional Republican clown car NEVER lived up to the promises made regarding releasing the video of J6.

My contempt for congressional “republicans” is almost as great as my contempt for the Marxists.

For all intents and purposes Trump is single-handedly fighting a war on many fronts.

I am CERTAIN Trump will do the right thing if elected and pardon the J6er’s to the condemnation of the Marxists, Elite Stream media, and sadly a great many traitors still holding elected office as “Republicans.”

This was not a data breach. Mexico pays companies to release this data so illegals can steal IDs and go on welfare and send money back to mexico.

I have had my credit reports locked on all three credit reporting agencies for fifteen years. It's the same thing LifeLock does except they do it for a monthly fee and you can do it for free. I have had to unlock one of them to a specific entity for a day to get my credit checked for a new job, but it only costs five bucks.

Imagine:

Kindly tell us your AGIs from at least two tax returns.

We will submit them to the IRS for instant verification.

Note the IRS only permits one verification attempt per day.

Government is incompetent at every level, we need to reimagine government, one that is 50% smaller and costs 50% less.

In the military, it was our id number.

We even had to have rubber stamps made to stamp our tighty whities and t-shirts with our Last name initial, dash, last 4 SSAN’s.

The wife and I have had personal info stolen from various servers... VA, FedGov’s OPM, the SC Dept of Revenue, Ticketmaster, Kohl’s, Equifax and other minor businesses. We receive notifications, plus a year or two of free credit monitoring. We just keep our credit locked down and pay cash for most stuff. I do a credit freeze each time a notification comes thru. Also keep an eye on our credit. Luckily, it’s free to do that.

You’re right. Everyone of the entities you mentioned are “after us”, and they deserve their comeuppance. I just don’t know where to start exacting revenge.
