Hackers May Have Stolen Your Social Security Number
Senior Citizens League
A recent lawsuit claims that hackers have gained access to billions of records of personal information, including Americans’ names, phone numbers, addresses, and Social Security numbers. Filed in Florida on August 1 on behalf of Christopher Hoffman, it alleges that a group of cyber criminals called USDoD (no relation to the US Department of Defense) conducted the hack around April 2024, then published the stolen data for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million.
What might surprise you is that the lawsuit doesn’t target the Social Security Administration or any other government entity. Instead, it names a background check company called National Public Data (NPD), as the defendant.
