Hackers May Have Our Social Security Numbers, And The Internet's Hilarious Take Walks The Line Between Fury And Acceptance
Unfortunately what I'm about to tell you is something you've probably gotten used to hearing. A class action lawsuit is sparking the claim that every single US citizen's social security number was leaked in a data breach earlier this year. To be clear, NBC News reported that right now the claim is unsubstantiated, and there isn't a reason for panic since "many people's numbers have already been leaked in previous hacks."
But when has that ever stopped the internet from coping through humor? Here are 20 tweets about this alleged mess:

I actually despise hackers on a molecular level but not for being hackers.For using their skills to be annoying shitters instead of doing shit like wiping out my debt or raising my credit score.Fuck you lol https://t.co/ZENjyLHFDl

“They have your social security number!!!!” And? Who cares. So does every job I’ve ever worked and they’ve stolen far more from me than any hacker ever could.

Ok, now that we've had our fun, it's my job to remind you that, according to reports, the leak likely included partial and incorrect data, and the scale is unknown.
