    At this point everyone should be given new Social security numbers and freash starts. Because all our data is on the dark web.

      That’d end up being breached and disseminated very quickly, especially under this administration. They’d vibe code it and all the data would be publicly posted in the source code.

        We created a totally secure and definitely unguessable (Probably Unique)™ identifier system - an MD5 hash of FirstnameLastname-DOB

        Oh also with this new totally flawless system, you’re now legally obligated to recite I’m full your (Probably Unique)™ 32-character hash to any ICE agents who request it. Failure to do so will result in detainment.

        For immigrants, we will happily tattoo your (Probably Unique)™ hash on your wrist for your convenience.

        This, or it would be entirely outsourced to the highest commercial bidder which also happens to be something like Google, Meta or Palantir.

      Honestly, this one is pretty small potatoes.

      Hackers have stolen personal information of a majority of insurance firm Allianz Life’s 1.4 million customers in North America, its parent company said.

      The German parent company added that the hackers were “able to obtain personally identifiable data related to the majority of Allianz Life’s customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees, using a social engineering technique”.

      A mere million or two.

      Not to imply that the broader security situation isn’t a problem, mind.
