You might be affected by one of the biggest data breaches ever and not even know it.
A recent class action lawsuit filed against Jerico Pictures Inc., a background check company that does business under the name National Public Data, claims that the company was breached by hackers earlier this year.
As a result, the lawsuit says, confidential data for 2.9 billion was exposed and stolen by a hacker group known as USDoD.
