Hackers stole millions of Social Security numbers. Data brokers sell them legally (Sponsor)

Criminal hacker group USDoD has allegedly leaked 2.7BN records of personal information — including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and phone numbers.

At the same time, legal data brokers are selling the same personal data (including SSNs!) to every spammer and scammer under the sun.

Hackers aren't your problem to solve. But you can do something about those brazen data brokers, and that's sign up to Incogni today. They'll send dozens of removal requests, deleting your personal data from the data brokers you know—and the ones you don't.
