Hackers may have stolen the Social Security numbers of every American. How to protect yourself
About four months after a notorious hacking group claimed to have stolen an extraordinary amount of sensitive personal information from a major data broker, a member of the group has reportedly released most of it for free on an online marketplace for stolen personal data. The breach, which includes Social Security numbers and other sensitive data, could power a raft of identity theft, fraud and other crimes.
Last week, a purported member of USDoD identified only as Felice told the hacking forum that they were offering “the full NPD database,” according to a screenshot taken by BleepingComputer. The information consists of about 2.7 billion records, each of which includes a person’s full name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and phone number, along with alternate names and birth dates.
It’s also possible that criminals could use information from previous data breaches to add email addresses to the data from the reported National Public Data leak. Armed with all that, Murray said, “you can cause all kinds of chaos, commit all kinds of crimes, steal all kinds of money.”
“For somebody who’s really suave at it,” Murray said, “the possibilities are really endless.”

There isn’t much room for interpretation here — your data has been stolen & sold — your government cannot protect you!
Inside job. Totally deliberate and planned to disrupt, cause havoc, destroy lives and livlihoods. The obvious idea is to create a massive identity risk thus pushing the public to demand solutions which of course is going to be the big contender in the room……Biometric ID. Once implemented the goal will be individual chip implants or other such device to permanently mark every citizen uniquely. This release of all the US Social Security Numbers is so obvious and transparent we hardly even need to write this response. But there you have it. The problem hssd been created. Next we need the expected reaction and a solution will follow. This thing has been engineered by people at the top, not low level hackers!!!!
Farmer — very astute observation!
In fact, the leak need not have even actually happened — they would just need to SAY it occurred to create the fear response.
Interesting!!
Brilliant Kewl2. That would be perfectly in line with all the other frauds the Cabal has perpetrated.
You guys are ON it !
Excellent and so obvious now that you have exposed it
