There are only 300+ million Americans, how are there 2.9 billion Social security numbers? CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT should be filed against NATIONAL PUBLIC DATA. As well, ANY company or corporation that holds anyone's data when they are no longer with that company or have any business dealings with the previous company should also face a class action lawsuit if there was a data breach. This is happening FAR too frequently and causes a great havoc and financial loss on the individuals affected by this egregious abuse of not protecting one's private and critical information such as the social security details! Americans are already under stress and this is compounding it even more.
