Inside the "3 billion people" national public data breach

Has anyone been able to reverse this base64 encryption? Whatever am I going to do with this?

It can't be reversed, unfortunately. base64 has been peer proven as mathematically unhackable.

Same for base16. That's why those pesky hash digests always use it.

It's not encryption it's encoding. It can be trivially decoded
