This would be my second or third rodeo with my data being leaked; one of those times was the Office of Personnel Management breach back in 2015.

Our National Security folks, who are likely the “protectors” of such data are probably too worried about LGBTQ issues and making sure “equity” is paramount to those working for this agency.

Not to worry, Cackles is confident the cloud her info is on is still floating safely above her.

Those who have not reached SS age or have not started SS need to keep close tabs on their information.

Anyone remember when the SSN was printed on our checks? Remember when it wasn’t the key to our entire financial existence?

Next up: the government gives everybody a free year of credit monitoring. That’ll make things right.

Just changed my critical financial passwords. Again. Added two factor authentication although it is a nuisance. Considering getting an encrypted password manager.

JUST YESTERDAY I predicted Chomo Joe and his clown car of tyrants would erase all records of all student debt and then, SUDDENLY wipe the servers, like with a cloth, and now that there is no record of who owes what. TUH DUH!!! Student debt magically disappears. Like the end of “Fight Club.”

I have a feeling this is related to Chomo Joe’s “debt forgiveness” plan.

If the friggin’ politicians weren’t spending all of their time having fundraisers to get their asses reelected, they could have done something to prevent this. This is a terrorist attack on America. We know the FIBBIES spend all their time tracking down Americans who have a patriotic streak but what the hell are those idiots at the CIA doing? Or do we still have a CIA.

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.

90% chance the breach came from India.
