Social security number breach: Steps to protect yourself after recent hack

A data breach involving billions of social security numbers has consumer advocates urgently sounding an alarm. If you haven't taken steps to protect yourself from identity theft yet, experts say you need to do so immediately.

The hackers may have stolen and posted every American's social security number.

According to a class-action lawsuit, a hacking group claimed in April to have stolen personal records of nearly three billion people from National Public Data, which offers personal information to employers, staffing agencies, and others who do background checks.

The hackers allegedly tried to sell the data but have now posted most of it for free online.
