The US Government Just Shut Down After Hacker Leaks 3 Billion Stolen Personal Records

The first reports of this breach came from the LA Times, which revealed that an unknown hacker linked to a group called USDoD had made these sensitive documents public. Now, this critical information is freely circulating online, where it could be misused in many harmful ways, potentially impacting millions of lives.

When we talk about data breaches, they usually involve thousands or maybe millions of records, but this one is on a completely different scale. The sheer size of the breach is staggering. While browsing a notorious hacker forum on the dark web, a post titled "National Public Data Full DB 2024" was discovered. It claimed to contain the personal data of nearly three billion people. To give you an idea of its size, the data file alone is 277 gigabytes uncompressed—that's the storage space needed for several high-resolution video games.
