The FBI is investigating it?? Ohhh now I feel better I mean a few years ago I wouldn't have expected much but now that FBI agent applicants that have previously engaged in beastality are no longer automatically rejected the FBI has a better chance of solving the case. Who is better at solving crime than animal fuckers? No one that's who!

Idscan.net was the third party that appears to link all the breaches together. They are used by Hertz and Planet13

That sucks. Wonder if they'll have to deal out new DL#s to those affected

They didn't issue new SSNs after the Equifax breach.

SSN was never meant to be any kind of password or security code, it's just complete idiocy that anyone uses it like that
