Oh, no, that’s not what I meant. The amount of identity theft and fraud is gonna skyrocket, but the rich won’t pay a dime.
At best they’ll try implementing tighter security here and there, but because the government is responsible for this leak they’ll ask for taxpayer money to do it.
You might be right but I dunno. Did the Experian leak a few years ago cause a spike in identity fraud? I think like 200 million people’s SSN and other PII was leaked at that time. I almost felt like it (kind of) didn’t matter because if everyone’s info is out there, why would any specific individual be more of a target than others?
Interesting. I had some weirdo states away filing claims on my health insurance. (Btw insurance company aggressively didn’t care and treated me like I was weird for reporting it, then ultimately said they’d never address it and it was on me to call the provider to dispute it, as if I should care more about their money getting stolen than they do) Never quite figured out how or why that happened, I guess it somehow could be due to the Experian leak.
As far as fraudulent charges, I’ve always had those. Probably once every year or two at minimum a random charge I had nothing to do with shows up. I don’t think it’s increased.
Will it? Will a billionaire finally pay for a single crime?
