Americans should close all their bank accounts & open new accts, thanks to Elon who exfiltrated the entire social security DB & leaked it to Cloudflare (www.ecoticias.com)

Replace your bank accounts, change your SSN, change employers, and move address. All your data has been compromized. Specifically:

social security numbers
medical and mental health records
bank and credit card information
tax details
work histories
home addresses

Avoid opening new accounts at these banks:

It is logistically impossible for an entire country of 300 million to do that in any reasonable timeframe.

The only two options going forward are: (1) abandon SSNs as a method of identity verification and switch to something better, (2) drown in continuous scams and identity theft forever.

Since the former requires a government that is competent at governance and a population that can adapt to basic administrative changes, the US is now stuck with the latter for the foreseeable.
