Replace your bank accounts, change your SSN, change employers, and move address. All your data has been compromized. Specifically:

  • social security numbers
  • medical and mental health records
  • bank and credit card information
  • tax details
  • work histories
  • home addresses

Avoid opening new accounts at these banks:

It is what it is. It’s a painful reality. Though “impossible” would be mostly exaggerated. Certainly it’s inconvenient in a country where most people are addicted to convenience.

    No. You’re just talking out your ass. Some of that stuff you said simply isn’t doable. You don’t just get a new SSN. That’s an ignorant statement.

    Please read the linked article before commenting. Specifically, the title:

    “All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat”

    It’s only correct to call this “talking out your ass” if you intend to claim that an act of Congress were impossible.

    You and I both know they don’t consider this a breach.

    Who’s they? By “they” you mean government. That’s not an atomic unit. The gov has many govs therein and those govs are not aligned. Read the article.

    “A filing summarized on Representative John Larson’s website states that DOGE workers used the third party service Cloudflare in March 2025 in a way that violated Social Security’s own security policies, and that DOGE employees attempted to pass sensitive personal records to an outside advocacy group seeking to overturn election results.”

    …

    “The Department of Justice has since admitted in another case that earlier statements to the courts about DOGE’s access were inaccurate.”

    …

    “A press release from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees describes how Justice Department filings acknowledged that individuals’ personal data had been disclosed to third parties using a non-government server, and that DOGE operatives entered Social Security systems without proper authority, bypassing safeguards and putting bank accounts, health records, wage histories, and immigration status at risk.”

    So policy violations, inaccurate testimony, and improper authority.. clearly some key gov agencies see this as a data breach.

    The government has many governments there in and those governments are not aligned? I know those words but not how you used them. English is clearly not your first language so kindly stop trying to start shit here. It's sad how hard you are pushing something that doesn't exist and doesn't work like you think.

    1. You cannot comprehend English written by someone whose first language is English.
    2. You cannot meaningfully articulate in English why you cannot comprehend it.
    3. You don’t know that “therein” is spelled as a single word.

    You’re clearly the one struggling with English.

    There are literally thousands of governments within the US. The US loves to create new govs. If you cannot grasp that, then you simply will not be able to understand the problem with trying to consider “the gov” as a singular entity in this context. In the very least, you should try to understand that there are 3 branches of government. From there, copious jurisdictions divided by geography and scope of law.

    Do a search on “ICE Minnesota” if you want to understand hard and fast how govs in the US can be unaligned.

    I am not going to write a whole book right here so you can understand. Go back to school.

    It is logistically impossible for an entire country of 300 million to do that in any reasonable timeframe.

    The only two options going forward are: (1) abandon SSNs as a method of identity verification and switch to something better, (2) drown in continuous scams and identity theft forever.

    Since the former requires a government that is competent at governance and a population that can adapt to basic administrative changes, the US is now stuck with the latter for the foreseeable.

    Moving is expensive and difficult enough for even a wealthy person. Depending on one's circumstances, all of these things are difficult if not extremely difficult. Changing employers might be easy for some but definitely is not for others. Especially if you have kids or other people who depend on you.
