Reports recently began circulating of a major data breach that could impact nearly three billion people.

The information allegedly at risk includes Social Security numbers, names and addresses, according to Bloomberg Law, which was the first to report it. A subsequent headline from the Los Angeles Times reads, “Hackers may have stolen the Social Security numbers of every American.”

Data from Google Trends shows a spike in U.S. searches for "social security breach."

Multiple viewers have asked if it’s true that their personal information is now at risk. Here’s what we can VERIFY.

How about the credit agencies freeze all credit data, requiring people to temporarily unfreeze them when needed?

No point of using social security numbers anymore. The data has been leaked so many times and it’s absolutely ridiculous the data leaked is pretty much all you need to take over someone’s identity.

Why so many random third party companies have access to this information is mind boggling.

I love hearing about an agency and company the public never heard of storing Americans' data.

This happened in April, so why are we just hearing about it now?

I’m sure this won’t be used to push a cashless social credit currency system.

Before you can create an account - in order to freeze your credit - they have to send a code to your phone. But my codes never showed up - i guess because so many people are trying to freeze their credit right now. 😐 UPDATE - my codes finally got to my phone, 2 hours later.

This "event" should be treated as a National Security "emergency" (it WON'T be) by Homeland/FBi and cyber security agencies.
