according to AP:
"Credit monitoring company Equifax says breach exposed social security numbers and other data from 143 million Americans"
that's... almost half
@noxy wow I'm so surprised...
good thing my credit is so bad it wouldn't matter if my ID was stolen.
@cameronh1403 same lol, although the possibility of criminals having my social security number is deeply concerning
@noxy true that is a bad thing. still not surprised that Equifax had such piss poor security for something so important.
@cameronh1403 oh me either. I think it's funny that they're referring to it as "143 million Americans" as opposed to "half of all Americans" or "a majority of Americans with credit histories"
I'm not sure how many of the 320-some million people who live in this country have credit histories, but it can't be THAT many more than 143 million.
