DOGE Gave Your Social Security Data To 'True The Vote'

6. The only fix for this I can think of is new (longer) SSNs for us all

That's the usual remedy when passwords are compromised in an enterprise setting. Everyone has to reset their password. NOTHING short of that should be discussed for this breach.

Yes, it will be hugely expensive, claw back the thefts from every public fund that's been looted, plus interest, plus 1000% damages from all the thieves to pay for it. THEY must feel the pain of their greed and damage done to us.

Since so many different non-governmental systems (illicitly) use SSNs as part of their ID mechanisms, such a renewal needs to be meticulously planned. If the government doesn't already have a plan for this, their risk analysis has been criminally short-sighted and the management equally criminally negligent.

In fact we've seen severe breaches of SSN data before, and nothing has been done. It's well beyond time to fix that!
