The jokes on LinkedIn. T-Mobile already has my social security number, birth date, and other important information on the dark web, thanks to their security breach.

Don't forget Equifax, assuming you are in the USA

Strangely enough, that data doesn't seem to have surfaced anywhere. There's a decent chance it was stolen by a nation-state actor using it for espionage.

Don't forget the OPM hack in 2014, also assuming you're in the USA and received a military/government background check.

I mentioned T-Mobile because I had gotten notification from AAA/ProtectMyID service that I was signed up for free after one of their breaches, that my information from the T-Mobile incident what was on the dark web. The scan service specifically mentioned T-Mobile.

But yeah you're right, I knew also that Equifax had problems as well.
