Oops! We Just Lent Hackers Your Social Security Cards!
In a stunning display of 'security,' a major U.S. insurance giant confessed that hackers didn’t just swipe your name or birthday—they nabbed Social Security numbers too. According to their own words, these were stolen 'in its mid-July cyberattack,' because obviously, when you invite hackers to your backyard, expect them to steal the barbeque and the grill. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where cyber defenses meant anything? So let me get this straight: your private info was treated like keys left under a welcome mat, and you barely batted an eye?

Congrats to this insurance giant for handing over Social Security numbers like they're candy at a parade. Next up: sending the hackers holiday cards, right?
If data protection was a sport, these folks just threw the gold medal into the cyber ocean. Social Security numbers weren't just stolen—they were on a TSA-approved express ride.
Imagine locking your front door but leaving the window wide open with a 'Welcome Hackers' neon sign. And then pretending to be surprised when your Social Security number walks out like it owns the place.
