It was probably stolen in a massive data breach that got almost 3 billion pieces of personally identifiable data and social security numbers, names, and addresses are all part of it. (link; link)

Why should I care?

People absolutely can use this info to steal your identity open a bunch of credit in your name, tank your credit score, and leave you with both the bills and the collections agencies.

But I already have shitty credit!

Shitty people will make it so much worse. And still leave you with the bill.

What can I do?

Unfortunately, you can't scrub your SSN off the internet. BUT THERE'S GOOD NEWS! You can freeze your credit reports, which means that no new credit can be opened in your name. Someone can't impersonate you to open 18982 credit cards, get a bank loan, or try to buy a house.

This process is FREE. You just need to remember to unfreeze when you need to open a card or your landlord needs to do a credit check or something like that. You need to do it with all three reporting bodies. It took me about 15 minutes total to freeze mine. The links below will take you straight to where you start the freezing process.
