It may be time for our government officials to start looking into a plan to give those affected new SSNs. Yes, it's a nightmare scenerio, but now that some other nation of hackers has everything on us, we now need new banking identities. The number 1 responsibilty our government has is to protect it's citizens. This is cyber war and we have been hit.
On a positive note, maybe some of us would drop below 5/24 as a result of getting new SSNs?

(Yeah, I know it probably wouldn't work like that, but still.)
