Default Some cracked SS

I saw a report that says hackers deciphered how they match social security numbers with names. Are you worried?

Well basically they could just pick any number and match a name to it and then use it somehow as part of their scams, that's no good at all.

Anything that compromises security is serious. Just the other day some hackers stole billions online, I mean they have to of taken that money from someone who thought their money was secure.
