I wonder why that is?

Now it’s even easier to send in fake votes lol. No more having to buy databases from multiple people, now it’s all in one convenient place!
Quick question: if there’s ~360 million people in America atm, is the 2.7 billion records of deceased people as well?
About four months after a notorious hacking group claimed to have stolen an extraordinary amount of sensitive personal information from a major data broker, a member of the group has reportedly released most of it for free on an online marketplace for stolen personal data.
[According](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-08-13/hacker-claims-theft-of-every-american-social-security-number) to a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the hacking group USDoD claimed in April to have stolen personal records of 2.9 billion people from National Public Data, which offers personal information to employers, private investigators, staffing agencies and others doing background checks. The group offered in a forum for hackers to sell the data, which included records from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, for $3.5 million, a cybersecurity expert said in a post on X.
I’m entering adulthood, what does this mean for me and my future?
