Dark Web site 上能找到我的SSN,需要更换SSN吗?

楼主 (北美华人网)
信用卡公司Discover发来的通知,8/20/2024 在Dark Web site 发现了我的SSN。名字和SSN的确都是我的,地址和座机电话却是10几年前我在学校里的用过,现在已经废弃不用的了。 至于我的生日,不知是否也能被找到?以前确实曾收到几次购物网站和医疗机构发来的、关于客户或病人的数据被盗的邮件,当时也没时间去折腾。
另外,我共有三张信用卡,前两周另外2张信用卡US Bank和Chase也在网上被盗用,虽然都是小数目,信用卡公司也都帮忙拦下并换了新卡。其实目前常用的只有US Bank。Chase和Discover都是老卡,平时不常用,只是为了信用卡分数,舍不得关掉。
Discover给了一堆建议,GPT4o给出的建议更多。感觉如果要一个个去解决的话,麻烦一大堆,实在没有心力。而且不知是否仍会后患无穷?毕竟现在大数据无所不在。
不知能不能申请更换SSN呢?如果换了SSN之后,是否也会引起其他的麻烦呢?  不知是否有遭遇类似事件的网友,能否分享一下你的解决办法?谢谢!!

Review the date your Social Security number was found as it may have been in the past.

Request and review a copy of your latest credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com to confirm no fraudulent activity has occurred. Access additional resources or report the issue at the Social Security Administration online at Ssa.Gov/Fraud, or via phone at 1-800-772-1213 If you need further assistance please contact us at 1-800-347-4907. 2)GPT4o:Having your Social Security number located on the dark web is a significant security concern, as it suggests your SSN could be at risk of misuse for identity theft. Here’s what you should consider and do: 1.    Verify the Notification Source: First, confirm the legitimacy of the notification. Some scammers use fake alerts to trick people. Ensure the notification comes from a credible source, such as a credit monitoring service or financial institution you trust. 2.    Monitor Your Credit: If the alert is real, immediately check your credit reports for any suspicious activity. You can obtain a free report from each of the three major credit bureaus—Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax—at AnnualCreditReport.com. 3.    Place a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze: A fraud alert informs creditors to verify your identity before opening accounts in your name. A credit freeze, which is stronger, prevents new accounts from being opened under your SSN. You can set these up through each of the major credit bureaus. 4.    Consider Identity Theft Protection: Services like LifeLock, IdentityForce, or Aura offer more robust protection and monitoring and can help detect and address suspicious activity. 5.    Report Any Identity Theft Immediately: If you find any signs of misuse, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at IdentityTheft.gov, and they will help you create a recovery plan. Changing Your SSN is rarely done, even in cases of identity theft, and generally is only approved under specific circumstances. However, by taking these proactive steps, you can help prevent or address misuse effectively.

最近我的医疗保险公司来信,说数据被HACK. 然后很快收到类似的信,说SSN在暗网上了。没办法,监控信用卡消费,把信用报告FREEZE。别的就没啥可做的了。比如有人冒用信息开个银行账户,其实很难发现。

遇到这种情况,客户可以告泄漏信息的公司(无论是有意还是无意)么?

今年最大的data breach泄露了3B人的数据,还有谁没在暗网的?lol

我的做法是,freeze之后,也不占什么小便宜开新信用卡了(也就是不unfreeze),就用现有的信用卡。

谢谢大家的信息。原来SSN受暗池之害竟然这么普遍。黑客和暗池这种做法也实在可恨!

请问 freeze 信用对我们自己有什么不利的地方吗?

稍安勿躁,信用卡就留一两张 经常看看账户有没有可疑交易 年年查查报告

你想换的理由社安局不同意

安拉,只要看好你每个月银行账单,付信用卡的追踪一下信用卡每笔是不是都是自己的花销不就得了。其他爱咋滴咋滴、钱是关键。影响到钱了再一个一个的搞清楚。该注销的注销该打电话的打个电话。换社安号就算了吧。

不用换,因为太普遍了。申请个credit report service,定期上去看有无可疑奇怪账户,或者干脆freeze起来。

没有什么不利,只是添点麻烦, 自己需要的时候要unfreeze , 用完再freeze

不需要换。除非你将来再不用任何信用卡开电话。总会有一天被泄露的。 但是需要冷冻检查信用的操作。 还能冷冻自己的工人卡号码和给自己设定一个报税的pin
我前段时间也被泄了。

你仔细看到信后面他们是不是想推销什么产品?美国谁的data没有被偷过?lol

伯克利网站有个介绍,推荐第二个链接证实是否ssn 被泄漏。 输入姓名和年份,会有很多同名的人出现,从搜索结果里如果看到自己的地址和ssn 后四位说明信息被完全泄漏了 https://hr.berkeley.edu/news/national-public-data-breach-what-you-can-do https://npd.pentester.com/
