A demonstration that the National Public Data breach exposed sensitive personal info for huge numbers of Americans, including high-profile figures — bad news for anyone whose data was leaked.

• Tucker Carlson was shown his own Social Security number, driver's license number, and hunting and fishing license records pulled from the National Public Data breach.
• The breach exposed personal records for vast numbers of Americans, making identity theft and scams easier.
• Carlson said he is not worried because he keeps his money in gold coins buried in a secret location, not in a bank account that could be drained.
• His phone number has been the same since 1995, meaning his contact info has long been public.

Outlook: Leaked data from this breach will keep circulating, raising the risk of fraud and scam calls for affected people.
