Some reports that the #parlerhack resulted in last four digits of SSNs being compromised. I wonder if users gave Parler their real SSNs or if someone just hacked 100k instances of 1488.

1488
Is a White Nationalist code. 14 referring to the 14 word slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children". 88 is code for Heil Hitler, as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. (88 >H.H> Heil Hitler)

I think it might be that people who wanted verified accounts had to give their SSN

If you give your SSN to them, what do they use to verify it's legit and not random numbers?

If she wasn't an owner of Cambridge Analytica, she at least invested a fair amount in it.
