At this point I assume most data breaches are just a criminal conspiracy between the corpo and data brokers.
No corporation bothers securing their data to a reasonable extent, so naturally they might as well accept the additional revenue stream or a “breach”. It’s not like they face any significant consequences 99% of the time.

At this point everyone should be given new Social security numbers and freash starts. Because all our data is on the dark web.

That’d end up being breached and disseminated very quickly, especially under this administration. They’d vibe code it and all the data would be publicly posted in the source code.

We created a totally secure and definitely unguessable (Probably Unique)™ identifier system - an MD5 hash of FirstnameLastname-DOB
Oh also with this new totally flawless system, you’re now legally obligated to recite I’m full your (Probably Unique)™ 32-character hash to any ICE agents who request it. Failure to do so will result in detainment.
For immigrants, we will happily tattoo your (Probably Unique)™ hash on your wrist for your convenience.

This, or it would be entirely outsourced to the highest commercial bidder which also happens to be something like Google, Meta or Palantir.

Honestly, this one is pretty small potatoes.
A mere million or two.
