We know Elon Musk (DOGE 🙄) and his merry band of dorks hacked into the National Treasury, Social Security, and everything else imaginable.
What a whistleblower recently disclosed is that shortly after Musk stole our data, Russia was using it.
Over the years, I’ve received notifications from banks (like-Bank of America) and medical facilities (like-never-mind), each informing me of a data breach, someone hacked their database, and (because of their negligence) my information had been compromised.
“Oops, we’re sorry.”
The first few times it happened, they gave me a free year of identity theft protection from a choice of three companies. (LifeLock comes to mind.) Subsequent notifications said I should invest in a service they listed, buy it myself.
With these identity protection companies, you can block use of your Social Security number to deny new loan requests.
Each time, they advised me to change my passwords and activate multistep identification in all accounts that offered it. On the most recent occasion, I was told point-blank that my data is on the dark web, and exactly how many times I used the same password. (67) My information is easily accessible. A toddler playing with grandma’s phone could mortgage a house in my name.
“Thirty sources across the government, the private sector, the labor movement, cybersecurity and law enforcement who spoke to their own concerns about how DOGE and the Trump administration might be handling sensitive data.” ~NPR

Now we know the criminals can disable every hurdle we create. The world’s richest man is among the most unethical. His young dorks, and other hackers, can even disable camera image, or thumbprint, requirements to open apps.
It appears we have no way of securing our material.
This is a list of your information that is in the hands of criminals, like Musk, Hair Donald, and Putin. It is long and detailed:
Trump Wants to Merge Government Data. Here Are 314 Things It Might Know About You.
What can we do aside from keeping an eagle eye on our bank accounts and credit ratings? Change our passwords as often as our underwear: weekly, daily, bidaily, (my new word: see my last post) hourly? How many passwords can you store in your short-term memory? I can remember two, but will never use them again.😭

“We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!”
~Paul Laurence Dunbar
