Should have had a vpn...
How does vpn protect someone from the data breach?
@@qatarworldcupwinnermessi because I've been told hundreds of times by youtubers how important a VPN is for data and identity security! They wouldn't lie to me!? I mean, yes, every VPN company HAS been hacked, but... VPN!
That doesn’t matter. The data was stolen from a data farm server. SMH
@@qatarworldcupwinnermessi But... I've watched hundreds of VPN ads from my favorite content creators shouting to the high heavens that I NEED a VPN to keep my data/identity safe! They wouldn't lie to me!? And they MUST be safe because no VPN company has ever been hacked! Right?
@@TheRealBozz No worries sir. As long as the information was from your favorite content creator, your data is 100% safe.
Or you as news agencies can turn on the govt and start saying they let this happen to help the illegals

And they get hold of my information and they use it I'm going to find out who I'm going to sue and I'm going to sue big time because that's not right we should not give out our social security when we go to the doctor to the bank or anything like that that should be keep for our stuff like case we get passed away or something that should not be out there in public😮
