Social Security Breach 2024: Protect Yourself from the Largest Data Leak in U.S. History
In this video, we dive into the shocking data breach that has allegedly compromised the personal information of about three billion individuals.
USDoD, the hacker group behind this data breach, claimed to have accessed sensitive data including Social Security numbers (SSNs), financial details, current and past addresses, and the names of siblings and parents of 2.9 billion people from a company called National Public Data (NPD). This attack is now one of the recent most significant data thefts in history.
More About the National Public Data (NPD):
National Public Data (NPD) is located in Coral Springs, Florida. This company offers background check services for employers, investigators, and businesses seeking to verify individuals' backgrounds. According to its website, their searches cover criminal records, vital records, SSN traces, and other related information.
Even if NPD did not publicly confirm the data breach, the LA Times reported that NPD acknowledged it through email and is now investigating on the issue.

I got four sixes in my social security number

[@CyberAndy_]

No. Sort unique SSNs in the two files and it is not anything near 2.9 billion

[@XactCyber]

The initial reports say that 2.9B numbers were affected, but it's possible that the actual number of unique SSNs compromised may be lower. Regardless, it's important to protect your personal information.

Do you use a service to monitor and help protect your identity?

[@XactCyber]

yes

[@PoorLittleRhubarbLovesMooing]

Is it just the U.S. though? Are you sure it's not happening in other countries too?

[@XactCyber]

While this breach impacts mostly people in the U.S., data breaches can occur anywhere in the world.
