Kronen··on US Secret Service: “Massive Fraud” Against State Unemployment Insurance Programs
Well you have an incentive when you read stuff like this:

- Hackers from China are believed to have stolen the social security number for every US federal employee in a cyber-attack much larger than it first seemed (2015)

- For the first time ever, data breaches compromised more Social Security numbers (35 percent) than credit card numbers (30 percent). The Equifax breach was largely responsible for that. (2017)

- If a cyberthief has your name, address and SSN, he is not far from being able to steal your identity. (2018)
