Between the multiple credit agencies, and the hospitals which were hacked, that alone is enough to have over half of our info. The one credit agency had like 150 million hostages, err customers, information hacked alone. I think they offered 1 year of credit monitoring. Seems kind of, pointless? They lost our social security numbers to hackers for life, but here is 1 year of credit monitoring (from them mind you). This country is so stupid.
