Millions who weren’t already in the experian breach…
No breach will ever compare to DOGE taking the whole damned thing.
Thanks, Big Balls…
At this point I don’t think an identity thief could actually do anything to hurt my credit any further so that’s a relief.
companies hoarding more data every year but somehow security budgets stayed the same. shocking how that worked out
I think I’m on my 1000th year of free credit monitoring by now…
Is anything secret anymore at this point? Massive leaks every week for years.
Maybe we should finally terminate the use of SS Numbers as ID and for approval of lines of credit.
I got a $20,000 charge for Verizon wireless show up on my credit report like 3 months ago. Im in the process of disputing it bc that’s insane luckily I’m broke and my credit is shit so it doesn’t matter to much. Wonder if it’s related
I mean, my stuff can’t get any worse, go ahead I guess
About two years ago I needed a new bank account. As part of the process, they needed my credit report, and after checking, the bank rep returns and informs me that I, in fact, have no credit. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
i just got a letter in the mail about this. literally what am i supposed to do about it lol everyones data is stolen every other week
It’s hard for me to care when the DOGE data breach is even bigger. I have zero trust for the federal government or the system and I am very confident that my generation will never get a penny from social security anyway.
We need long overdue systemic reform.
One day the US will understand the value of GDPR.
LOL! I am joking!
Oh did T-Mobile get hacked again?
Can we sue Elon musk and doge ? What happens if everyone in the US sues Elon and doge?
Ssn was always unsecure, its just region ID # data set # then population count in the data set at the time of birth
So can they just show us all the numbers so we can collectively just pull out credit cards on every one and see where that goes? Economy set up to screw 99% of us anyways so we should just see what happens when no one has credit and can officially no longer buy things. Could be interesting at least.
For anyone who hasn’t already, I would ***highly*** recommend freezing your credit for the three big bureaus. It’s free and relatively easy to do, though it will require you create an account and do an identity verification.
[Experian](https://www.experian.com/help/credit-freeze/)
[Equifax](https://www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/credit-freeze/)
[TransUnion](https://www.transunion.com/credit-freeze)
They may as well just publish all of our data right on a web site at this point. My info has been breached so many times I dont even care anymore.
lol. These numbers have been breached so many times there is no way to know where the identity theft originated.
