What is your biggest insecurity, and why?
My voice. When I'm nervous my voice gets super deep. Either that or it comes out as a whisper even when I meant to talk at normal volume. My voice just never comes out the way I plan for it to sound. What’s yours? Feel free to share please! #letschat #AskLemon8 #insecurities

A lawsuit claims hackers accessed personal data of "billions of individuals," including SSNs, addresses, and family names, enabling fraud. Christopher Hofmann's identity theft service alerted him to this "nationalpublicdata.com" breach, as reported by Bloomberg Law.
The article details an April 2024 breach by USDOD, exfiltrating unencrypted data from National Public Data (NPD). A hacker later leaked this stolen data for free. The image also includes a "Sign up for Breaking News Alerts" section with an email input.
The stolen data includes 2.7 billion records with full names, addresses, DOBs, SSNs, and phone numbers, potentially impacting "everyone with a Social Security number." NPD stated a "third-party bad actor" caused the breach, with leaks in April and summer 2024.
