The claim that "Every American's Social Security number" was stolen is misleading. The breach involves data from National Public Data with many duplicate records and inaccuracies. The actual number of affected individuals is smaller. https://www.troyhunt.com/inside-the-3-billion-people-national-public-data-breach/ https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/14/24220212/national-public-data-breach-social-security-3-billion
