Hack a huge deal. Today were learning exactly how huge it was. The numbers are astounding. Hackers stole 19. 7 million Social Security numbers of americans who went through federal government background checks. They took another 1. 8 million from the applicants friends and family.

Peggy fox has been out talking to people today and joins us live on capital hill and, peg, i know people arent happy.
