Oh shit fuck... Thats like half the adult population of the US.

Article says 209,000 peoples info (social security cards, license numbers, credit card numbers) was accessed. That's still almost 1% of the populace.

Leaking that data is pretty much their business model, though. I'm not sure what difference it makes that it was leaked to a different group that would abuse it to the detriment of the subjects.

The people who access it legitimately also use it to the detriment of their subjects.
