 Nothing to see here. Just a third of the world’s population’s data for sale. Want any SS numbers and addresses?

 Wow 🤯, can i check if i was part of the breach somewhere? Is there anything you can do when they have your SSN? 
 Freeze your credit accounts, and for good measure anything ChexSystems touches. So, credit and checking/savings accounts are your first targets, even if it's your local Credit Union.

Don't fuck around with your financial future today, only to find out you shouldn't have, later. Lock that shit up, /tight/, right goddamn now! Within a week, but no longer. Stop being needlessly exposed. 
 If you want to search, obtain then get familiar with the dump and do that for yourself. 
 dang, may  as well just post my ssn on social media at this point 
 If a government wanted to change the rules, staging a leak of everyone’s data would give them one hell of an excuse. Just an observation. 
 It's ok tho, we'll probably see a class action lawsuit where anybody affected can get a payout of $10!
