From the post:

>The home security company ADT said cybercriminals breached company systems on Monday and stole a “limited set” of customer and prospective customer information. An investigation into the incident found the stolen information ranged from names, phone numbers, addresses and dates of birth to the last four digits of Social Security numbers and tax IDs. No payment data was stolen and an ADT spokesperson said “customer security systems were not affected or compromised in any way.” The company did not respond to questions about the number of people impacted or if a ransom was offered. On Thursday, a cybercriminal group claimed to have stolen 10 million records containing personal information and threatened to leak the data if the company did not pay a ransom.

Why would a security system company have social security numbers?

Despite not being a good idea or even downright illegal in some places a lot of companies still use SSN's as identifiers. I don't know if ADT does that but a lot of businesses still do.

Fucking dumb, since it’s not a unique identifier.
