I read this happened in December 2024, and they were going after government officials' records.

Well, I wonder what repercussions might happen as a result of unnamed, supposedly unsupervised persons, who seem to have carelessly, penetrated, however many of our US citizens personal records & info of late.

Might be judicious for all of us to be even more communicative with one other, (esp with ppl that we know), & be even that much more extremely careful & alert. (esp, as we peons might become more & more squeezed with prospective changes. We dont know.)

(added: For yrs, Ive used my various Yahoo Accts & never had any penetrations. I stayed away from GMail cause I heard GMail was very very porous. Well I uploaded a Cell pic file of mine, ONLY to me, from my Cell to my Gmail. And next thing I know, my sister got some kind of an email from my GMail acct! I have NOBODY listed in my addresses in Gmail!. Somehow, Gmail got her addy.

Yeh, Gmail is VERY Porous, by gosh!!

I don't see it in my current news. There was reporting backing in December though.

Can you cite this news?

I keep nothing of a financial nature on my phone. And I never place online orders from my phone, EVER. It's me that I don't trust, I was always afraid of losing the phone.
