and even some political people to move on for the good of the country.

They are on the federal payroll.

24/7 outrage!

thought too. This idiot should go to prison when found guilty.

As per usual.

They were clearly violating the Privacy Act of 1974, as well as the privacy parameters in the original language of the bill. making Social Security law, in 1935.

But SCOTUS gave them a pass.

.... whistle blowers are protected from retaliation, and that would be too egregious. They will probably end up deleting the data from the cloud, if that hasn't already been done.

They’ll also be doxxed and threatened.

He will be fired for sure, but I think the "something else" will probably be him being charged with severe BS and convicted in a BS court!

I mean, besides everyone who has been paying attention to this. It took the fucking media long enough to report it...

And you're naive if you think otherwise.

Then?!

Between the multiple credit agencies, and the hospitals which were hacked, that alone is enough to have over half of our info. The one credit agency had like 150 million hostages, err customers, information hacked alone. I think they offered 1 year of credit monitoring. Seems kind of, pointless? They lost our social security numbers to hackers for life, but here is 1 year of credit monitoring (from them mind you). This country is so stupid.

Maybe the data was exposed. Of course if the idiots had proper security with logging we could say for sure, but it's kind of wait and hope situation. Although as noted by another poster much of this is already available and we really probably should do a new Social Security number or similar but with better security. Too many other areas have used that number for other things. But that's unlikely to happen barring an absolute disaster because companies can offer us a year of credit report watching and security is hard.

Much as I hate it, a new social security number would ease my troubled mind. I'd prefer to wait until Dimwit Donny has stopped breathing.

Will screw it up worse if they do new numbers.

I've had the same one since I was 16.I have it memorized and could reel it off in my sleep. I'm 82 now and would hate to have to learn a new one.

Coristine's skeevy story is only the most recent stink on this carcass-politic.

Unless maybe you were willing and able to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a Super Premium Trump Securecard!

I would enjoy that.

Well, this is not a boat accident! It wasn't any propeller, it wasn't any coral reef, and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark.

you DU'ers 10-20 years from now may likely see backdoors to the government main frame computers during D.O.G..E used to steal billions and not be traceable.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired

Just put Mr. Balls in the chute and give me the dullest, rustiest, tetanus-infected, manure-encrusted razor blade you can find. I'll "steer" him with a smile.

Elon and the Crime Minister too.

I don't want to be that kind to these animals--I'll stick with the dull rusty blade.

I've got a pair of tin snips at work I'm on the verge of throwing away because they are so dull they won't cut plastic banding. You can have those.

The Trump administration? DOGE?

Possibly. But also possible that they wanted to destroy the Social Security system, claiming no one is who they claim to be, and not issuing valid SS numbers ... and then require the "new" SS numbers to become eligible to vote.

No security, other than basic firewall rules to allow the chosen few access.

Surely, he knew it was illegal, but expected to be protected! I do hope we have a new Democratic administration before the statute of limitations runs out.

Excuse to make everybody jump thru their 'prove who you are and we'll decide if you're a citizen' hoops
In the meantime, will Social Security payments be held up? Dollars to donuts this will bring all sorts of problems.

They would bungle it or worse use that opportunity to deny it to people such as those of us naturalized citizens. They would find excuses to say it needs to be investigated to make sure we are true Americans. Same thing could happen to older African Americans. Many, especially in rural areas cannot easily produce a birth certificate. They were born at home, the birth was not recorded, especially during Jim Crow.

There MOST DEFINITELY is that.

Dammit.

Afterall, their task was to fuck things up.

Chalk it up to another cost of electing trump, world history's most expensive President.

not this administration's repeated leaking of confidential data to unsecured servers. Maybe they can put it on a Signal chat and copy some journalists to Make America really Great Again.

For you, Big Ballz! Republicans won't be in charge forever, and once Democrats get back in power, we will do all in our power to ensure you spend the rest of your pathetic life in a federal penitentiary.

I've had the same SSN since I was fifteen, 51 years now. I had to get it to get dental care at the UNC dental school. Everything I've ever done, including serving four years in the USAF, is tied to that number.

Idiot MAGA fuckups. We'll never get all of their stupid shit straightened out.
