So when I lose my card I get fined, but when the govt loses EVERYONES numbers they just get to say “our bad, good luck lol”?

[zechc]

Your library card is more secure than Social Security

[grandmasterchooda]

Why can’t hackers do cool stuff like clearing out peoples debt or dispersing billionaires money back to the people. Hope they catch em but our gov is so incompetent they probably just gave it to them

[matthewkuhl]

Are you suggesting that the government is incompetent?

[arthur_morgan___]

Lmao I like how no one is afraid

“Well I may be royally screwed but you’re screwed too”

[Socratic]

Uh huh.. What about the ssn's? They just out there, forever? No fixes? No ideas? ... Why is every Americans social security number in one place, at all? Give me my taxes back, you

[LayneToler]

They gonna be mad when they apply for credit with my number 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[charlesa]

i like how this useless ass news station doesnt educate us on what to do next

[MoreLexMedia]

"People who are effective should monitor their credit so basically everyone???

Yet another reason why Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a really good idea - NOT!!

At this point who doesn't have it. SS numbers were never meant to be used for everything.

It just keeps getting better and better... Losing my housing twice during the pandemic and spiraling into homelessness and then getting into two separate car crashes wasn't enough.

[MobiusGang]

Apparently, this happened months ago and they’re reporting on it now…

[vectoralphaSec]

Not almost. Everyone!! Literally every single human being in the US, Uk and canada has their social security out and about public knowledge now for the whole world to use.

[spencerathearn]

Happened 4 months ago but we are now just learning about it

[ck]

This must be that “largest transfer of wealth” we keep hearing about.

[cantwealljustgetalong]

why isnt this being talked about on TV?

[codafett]

I'm trying to wrap my head around this, how is almost every social security number just out there now? Who are these people?

[Rightly_Divided]

So just add a third digit in everyone's numbers. The gov could easily do that for free really fast digitally. But of course why would they want to do that. amiright

[TheMikeG]

Literally, EVERY news is just saying what happen & to monitor your own shit.

Pat on the ass and good luck.
