    I got no notification either until I bought Aura and did a Dark Web Audit. I agree that private companies have no right to collect and store our private data, especially Social Security data. That needs to be protected from private companies, corporations and half of our elected leaders. So they can quit spamming me for campaign money and do their damn jobs.
  • Why are they speaking for me and why cant I defend myself with all the damage ive been having the entire time and still have and why my name doesnt come up at all.
  • It is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE that 3rd party companies have that information to begin with!!!! It should only be in SSA!!

    This guy should run for president I'd vote for him
  • As if a law will stop lawbreakers. Derp! THIS mentality is why it happens. Then he tells us to go confirm our info on a site that will sell that info on the dark web too. Heavens help us its total Idiocracy.
  • non-government agencies shouldn't be allowed to use the word American, Federal, National, etc., in their names.

    Well... Time for us all to get new and unaffiliated cattle tags, after we freeze or credit. Unaffiliated, meaning no connection to our old SSN beyond a certain date or criteria being met. What a mess!

    US DOD? United States defense department or Uno sanctum doctrine of discovery ?
  • @audreystarr6166
    The people who have been involved in the breach should be reassigned new ssnumbers

    Since the gov caused this problem they should fix it. Hard enough to navigate the internet as it is. I did not find this page on Pinter. It was not useful.
  • @loishawkey
    I tried Penister. They're stealing my data and then they wanted to charge me money.
  • @takeoverusa
    But what if that social security number is attached to a private company being the United States ?
  • Nothing new! This has been going on since the 90's !!!!! It's to late now!🤔
  • does he have a relationship with that website bc why would anyone to there instead of just freezing their credit. that website seems a silly solution. if you dont need to open a new line, just assume its been stolen and freeze it.
