Hot Take:

So, the whole of Maine got an unexpected visit from cyber thieves. It's like a digital home invasion, but instead of your TV and jewelry, they took off with your Social Security number, date of birth, driver’s license, and taxpayer ID number. It's like a really bad episode of 'Storage Wars', only instead of finding a rare Picasso in an abandoned storage unit, they found 1.3 million personal data sets. The nerve of these people!
