I applied for a Robinhood account and was never approved, after sending in details 3-4 times.

Now, I find out from my bank, that Robinhood leaked my SSN, Drivers License#, Address, and Email to the dark web.

WTF!!!!

Is there any recourse here? My SSN is now all over the dark web.

Sounds like you probably got phished?

I wouldn't be surprised if a RH employee sold the info. Something similar happened to me with their "Robinhood Card" and many others. Fraudulent purchases being made when the card never left our possession. Either a database breach or their access controls are not good. Either way IMO you should not be involved with this company..
