If it were, I would let the government know that's not okay. Hackers would be one step closer to being able to sign up for a credit card under my name.

If it's true that that information is out in the wild now, then I expect government to tighten their tech security procedures.

"I would let the government know that's not okay" - lol, yeah good luck with that.

How do you think the RNC got birthdays for 200 million Americans in the first place? Public records. 200 million Americans are NOT affiliated with the RNC.

As I replied elsewhere, there is a market for reselling your information on the internet. In some cases that is legal, and in many it's probably not. As a tech person you should know this.
