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, Felice claimed.
"If this in fact is pretty much the whole dossier on all of us, it certainly is much more concerning" than prior breaches, Murray said in an interview. "And if people weren't taking precautions in the past, which they should have been doing, this should be a five-alarm wake-up call for them."
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.

Burgers are fat, dumb, and happy relatively speaking. Just enough so when things go up in flames they don't really know or care

I just assume that people who aren't supposed to have my data have gotten my data, so I'm never surprised or upset when it actually happens

Same. Plus I think hackers are actually getting live, up-to-date data from these credit bureaus and related entities.
I've signed up for multiple financial accounts only to get scam texts/emails within a couple days of opening the new account that clearly know I opened the account. Like I open a savings account at X Bank and then get a text from "X Bank" asking I "verify my account" at some sketchy website that has nothing to do with the bank itself.
Cybersecurity is actually in a far worse position than anybody wants to publicly admit. The whole thing is fricked and the government has absolutely no interest in actually fixing things.

Your credit information can be sold to companies for marketing purposes (ex: pitching new credit cards to you), and you have to opt-out to prevent it. Might be why those guys know you've opened an account.

True. But I doubt they intentionally sold them to criminals who try to use that info to scam their customers. I'd still consider that a leak tbh.
Again there are federal laws they could enact to help combat this. Like require that kind of sharing to be opt-in, and NOT opt-out. But they'll never do that.

The federal government actually giving a shit about ppl's privacy is a foregone conclusion. California might try something but I doubt anyone cares at this point.

I don't cry when my dog runs away, I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay even if it's because some scammer bought a car in Moldova under my name

It's more like these people keep dropping off dogs at my house, and yeah theyre cute but fricked up shit keeps happening to them like getting hit by cars. I still like having them but im pretty apathetic if one of them kicks it.
Plus now that everyone has all these doomed dogs, the government's gonna have to figure something out. Maybe just euthanasia.
