National Public Data confirms massive data breach included Social Security numbers

Social security numbers, names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers were in the 2.9 billion records within a data breach. security firm pentester.com tool tells you if your data is involved..

National Public Data, which aggregates data to provide background checks, has confirmed it suffered a  massive data breach  involving Social Security numbers and other personal data on millions of Americans.

The Coral Springs, Florida company posted on its website a notice that "there appears to a have been a data security incident that may have involved some of your personal information. The incident is believed to have involved a third-party bad actor that was trying to hack into data in late December 2023, with potential leaks of certain data in April 2024 and summer 2024."

News about the breach first came from a class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and first reported on by  Bloomberg Law . Stolen from National Public Data (NPD) were 2.9 billion records including names, addresses, Social Security numbers and relatives dating back at least three decades, according to law firm  Schubert, Jonckheer & Kolbe , which filed the suit.

NPD said the breached data included names, email addresses, phone numbers and mailing addresses, as well as Social Security numbers. The company said it is cooperating with investigators and has "implemented additional security measures in efforts to prevent the reoccurrence of such a breach and to protect our systems."

Identity protection: How and why to freeze your credit

How to check to see if your Social Security number, data were in breach

Cybersecurity firm Pentester said it got the data and created a tool you can use to see if your information is in the breach – it shows names, addresses, address histories, and social security numbers. You will find it at npd.pentester.com .

Since financial institutions use Social Security numbers on applications for loans and credit cards and on investments, having that information that information available to threat actors poses a serious risk, Pentester.com cofounder Richard Glaser said in an advisory on the company website.

He also suggested freezing credit reports. "Names, addresses and phone numbers might change but your social security number doesn't," Glaser said.

Data breach: How to protect your credit

NPD also advised consumers to "closely monitor your financial accounts and if you see any unauthorized activity, you should promptly contact your financial institution." Consumers might want to get a credit report and get a fraud alert on their credit file, the company said.

Consumers should do more than that and freeze their credit report, Odysseas Papadimitriou, the CEO of personal finance site WalletHub, told USA TODAY. “Placing a fraud alert is not as effective as freezing your report," he said.

"A fraud alert is more of a heads up to lenders, which they can easily ignore. It doesn’t do much in practice," Papadimitriou said. "A freeze, on the other hand, stops fraud in its tracks by preventing identity thieves from opening accounts in your name.”

He and other security experts suggest consumers take that step because the personal data is likely in the hands of hackers.

The class action suit alleges it was cybercriminal group USDoD that accessed NPD's network and stole unencrypted personal information. Then, the group posted a database it said had information on 2.9 billion people on the dark web on about April 8, 2024 seeking to sell it for $3.5 million.

I quit my job at Meta and traveled to Bali to find myself — but 2 months later, I moved back into my parents' house more confused than ever

• Simone Landis quit her job at Meta and traveled to Bali seeking a spiritual reset.
• Landis said she felt more lost than ever during her two-month vacation.
• She moved back into her childhood home and plans to stay for the foreseeable future.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Simone Landis, a 29-year-old from San Francisco who quit her job at Meta. It's been edited for length and clarity.

My event-planning job at Meta was exciting and kept me on my toes, but when the pandemic shut down all in-person gatherings and my role was diminished to data analytics , I lost passion for the job. My dissatisfaction was tempered by the hefty paycheck and job security, but after two years I was desperately searching for more out of my career.

In the fall of 2022, I quit my job and booked a flight to Bali in pursuit of my very own "Eat, Pray, Love" experience. Yet I found myself feeling more lost and confused than ever, so I returned to the States and had to move back into my childhood home.

I have no regrets about spending $5,000 on a trip to Bali, but I wish I'd known I couldn't run away from my inner turmoil, no matter how far I went.

My events job at Meta was tough to transition online

I started working at Meta in the fall of 2019 within its global security department. My job was to plan everything from companywide holiday parties to small shareholder meetings, ensuring that the proper executive protection and medical personnel were present.

I had so much fun planning events out of the Bay Area headquarters and loved how dynamic and busy it kept me.

But when the pandemic hit, my main tasks pivoted to data analytics. Two years went by without the return of in-person events, and I lost my spark for work.

My job turned into something entirely different than what I signed up for, and I wasn't looking forward to my day-to-day tasks. I knew it was time to move on, but I was afraid to let go of a secure paycheck.

I started working a weekend gig at an event-planning agency to satisfy my event interest while I held on to my job at Meta. A few months later, my roommate in San Francisco decided to move out, and I was faced with a decision to either stay at Meta and find my own apartment or use this as my moment to move on.

I'd spent two years saving up money, including $5,000 exclusively for travel, so I knew I could financially sustain a few months away from work. I thought a vacation would clear my head and allow me to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life.

I quit my job and flew to Bali

I quit my job at Meta in the fall of 2022, didn't renew my lease, and booked a two-month trip to Bali . I decided on Bali because of its reputation as a healing, spiritual place with cultural traditions rooted in gratitude. I chose to do a yoga retreat because I'd been practicing for years and wanted to be surrounded by like-minded people.

On the outside, Bali was exactly what I expected. My trip was filled with delicious vegan food, endless yoga classes, and cafés with digital nomads. The island is gorgeous, and I had ample time to explore the lush nature.

However, it was a lot more commercialized than I expected. Most of my immediate surroundings were Westernized and catered exclusively to tourists and people like me who bought into the same Bali fantasy of a spiritual reset.

I felt more lost than ever

I went in with these grand plans of creating social-media travel content, meeting new friends, and figuring out next steps for my career.

But I found myself completely alone, overcome with social anxiety, and too overwhelmed to film anything. The pressure I put on myself to make something of this vacation sent me into decision paralysis.

I hoped to emerge from a  meditation  with a revelation about what I should do with my life, but I felt more lost than ever.

Rather than clearing my head, the time away made space for me to ruminate over the fact that I was 27, an age when it seemed like most of my friends were making their way up the corporate ladder, starting families, or settling down. I grappled with the fact that I didn't have any of the things I thought defined success at my age.

I moved back into my childhood home

After two months in Bali, I flew back to the Bay Area and had to move into my childhood home . My parents don't live there year-round, so I had the place largely to myself, but it felt weird to return.

It was humbling and frankly embarrassing to reflect on the fact that I had given up everything to travel and find myself but the only place I found myself was back in my childhood bedroom. It forced me to look inward and rediscover what the little girl who once lived here wanted. I could run away, I could travel again, but I knew I'd always have to come home to myself.

I continued working part time at the events company, and it reawakened my passion for events and in-person interactions. I stifled the social anxiety I struggled with in Bali and successfully advocated to my bosses for a promotion. Now I'm working more hours and taking on more responsibility and creative liberties.

I'm also planning on getting my yoga -teacher training and using my events background to lead international yoga retreats. Who knows, maybe I'll even return to Bali to lead a yoga retreat.

I'm still living in my childhood home, which I feel is common but not talked about enough. The Bay Area is expensive, and while it's not exactly what I imagined for myself at 29, I'm happy to be here during this stage of my life. I'm excited to one day have a place of my own, but I'm in no rush to leave until I feel financially secure.

I don't have any regrets

I wouldn't take back my experience in Bali for a second, but I wish I'd had more realistic expectations. I set myself up for disappointment by relying on my vacation as a crutch for my identity crisis. The reality is that I just needed time with myself, regardless of the place.

I am, however, happy that I trusted my intuition and left Meta. Though it's going to be a long journey, I'm finally on a career path that aligns with my passions and goals.

I Spent 7 Weeks in Europe With Just a Carry-on, and These Are the 10 Dresses I Wore on Repeat — From $36

It’s not too late to book that dream Europe vacation...

Travel + Leisure / Tyler Roeland

One of my life’s biggest regrets is not studying abroad in college and not reaching for that elusive chance for total immersion into another culture during a semester away. Though I’ve been able to make up for it post-graduation with nearly 20 trips to Europe, from family jaunts to Italy and conferences in Riga, Latvia to posh London stays with Hilton , it has still felt like there was always a little something missing. Enter: my self-coined “adult study abroad summer,” when I connected a string of work trips with some personal exploration for a full seven weeks away from home. 

This seven-nation European swing began with a memorable mother-daughter Adriatic cruise with Viking, then a group trip to the Republic of Georgia, a self-guided Balkan adventure through Albania, Corfu, and North Macedonia, and finally a luxurious sail around the Greek Isles with Windstar. As the captain of Team Carry-on-only , it was a delicate dance to properly pack for the weather , plus a mix of casual and more formal events and destinations. Luckily, I was able to curate the perfect wardrobe with a slew of versatile travel dresses for every possible occasion. Sightseeing at a museum? Check. Michelin-star dinner out? Covered. Walking day exploring a new city? Done. Below, are the 10 dresses I suggest packing for the ultimate European summer vacation. 

A Linen Shirtdress

Is there a fabric more iconic, cooling, and chic than linen in the summer? I think not. I wore my lovely linen-blend Alex Mill shirtdress everywhere from a Greek olive oil tasting in Monemvasia via Windstar to a casual lakeside dinner of Ohrid trout in North Macedonia, but you can achieve the same look with this version from J.Crew; it's on mega sale and available in plenty of colors in case you’re not sold on white (pasta stains, oh me oh my). Pro tip: Consider adding a linen blazer to the mix, too. It'll be an elegant, lightweight jacket option that's easy to pack (and mix and match). 

An Elevated Athletic Dress

Americans love athleisure, a trend that’s been slower to catch on across the pond. While I wouldn't recommend sporting that leggings set out and about, I do suggest packing an athletic dress — especially one tailored enough that it could be mistaken for a normal dress — to get away with being comfy and stylish on your Euro getaway. I utilized a similar style to this Amazon-loved one for a day spent exploring beaches in Corfu, off the coast of Albania, part of the Ionian Islands of Greece. With an oversized button-down shirt , I could go straight from the sunny shores to a moonlit dinner in town without having to stop back at the Airbnb. 

A Matching Skirt Set

Though not technically a dress, a matching skirt set does so much for a travel wardrobe that it is worth the space in your carry-on. I have my eye on this vibrant red Farm Rio set , which would be perfect against the stark white homes in Ohrid; the pop of color would also make for compelling photos against the stunning cerulean backdrop of Lake Ohrid, one of the world’s oldest lakes. However, many shoppers have given the Zesica Matching Skirt Set from Amazon their stamp of approval. 

Whichever you choose, know that you're signing up for multiple mix-and-match options. You can wear the top with high-waisted white jeans , or try the skirt with a sleek black tank . Trust me on this one, I saw so many coordinating sets on the streets of Europe, from the golden capital of Malta to the balmy Dalmatian Coast, and this is one item I truly wished I would have packed for my summer away. 

A 'Nap' Dress

Hill House Home

A COVID-era trend turned wardrobe staple, the nap dress is meant to be so comfortable you can actually nap in it. I’m a longtime fan of Hill House Home, and I own more than 20 of these pretty dresses in whimsical prints. For travel purposes, I prefer to pack a more classic nap dress, like the navy Ellie style , which matches more and is less memorable than a fussier or more elaborate print. Bonus: it’s truly wrinkle-resistant, so you can avoid the iron and toss it on before exploring old town Kotor.

Alternatively, Amazon has similar nap dress-inspired silhouettes at lower price points; check out the Zesica Plaid Square Neck Puff Sleeve Midi Dress and the Chouyatou Smocked Flounce Dress starting at $29. 

A Ballet-style Midi Dress

No bow, no go — Balletcore is very much in . I mean, did it ever really leave? To incorporate the trend into your travel wardrobe, I'd pick up this gorgeous fit-and-flare dress from Quince; it strikes the perfect balance between flowy and structured so you can feel comfy and look put-together. I wore a similar dress nonstop during my Georgia trip, going from mountains to vineyards to the bustling capital city and back again. In terms of accessorizing this classic silhouette, snag one of these uber-popular Marzoline beauties that are handmade in Milan. 

A Peachy Pick 

Embrace Peach Fuzz, the Pantone Color of the Year , with a warm, pastel-hued dress like this one from Charles Henry. It's breezy enough to beat the heat, but modest enough to mimic cap sleeves when visiting cathedrals or religious sites. Plus, the midi length keeps it modern and approachable, while the cotton poplin fabric means only natural fibers touch your skin. Though this shade isn’t my usual cup of tea, I spotted it on plenty of other European travelers and locals alike.

A Blue and White Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

While peach may dominate the color wheel for the moment, a classic combination for any Euro getaway is blue and white. You might associate the color palette with Santorini for its famous white buildings and contrasting blue domes, but the duo really works anywhere in Europe. Take this chic Abercrombie pick for example. It's made with 100 percent cotton, features a cute tie, and is a comfy maxi dress length. It’s practically begging for some island time. See you soon, Cyclades. 

A Fun Cut-out Dress

A pretty dress that showcases just a peek of skin is ever-so playful and flirty, but there are elegant ways to nail the look. Amazon shoppers love this billowy maxi dress, which has two modest side cut-outs, adding unique contrast to the classic square-neck, short-sleeve silhouette. You can also play with cut-outs more elegantly with a gown like this metallic floral maxi , which would make a great destination wedding guest dress. Now if only my family would decide to throw weddings abroad rather than in our Midwestern hometown…

A White Tennis Dress

There's no denying Tenniscore's presence in 2024's list of summer trends . And, as luck would have it, the look makes for an effortlessly stylish travel outfit. A classic white tennis dress pick like this Amazon-loved one is an easy layering piece that is equal parts comfy and elevated with its corset details and exaggerated pleats for easy movement when walking the winding streets of Rome. Afraid of spilling gelato on the pristine shade? Opt for it in one of its other eight available colors. Bonus: this dress is currently on sale, too!

A Jumpsuit 

Okay, hear me out. I know this isn’t technically a dress, but a cute jumpsuit can function the same way: throw it on, stay comfortable, and make the most of your Euro trip. Spanx makes the bottom half of my go-to travel outfit ( hello, Booty Boost leggings ), but I have seen the Oprah-loved brand 's jumpsuit around more than any other item this year. It’s made in regular, petite, and tall sizes, crafted from the softest material, and comes in four neutral colorways. Pair this jumpsuit with a cozy sweatshirt, like Oprah's favorite AirEssentials Half-zip , for the ultimate monochromatic travel set.

How do you comb through the rooms, amenities and myriad other details that make a hotel stand out from the crowd to find the ones you should save up your points to experience or those you will think back on fondly, even years after your stay?

If you work at The Points Guy, you turn to a group of travel writers and editors and ask them which Hilton hotels they've visited in the past and still think about to this day. Some of these hotels stand out because of their unforgettable settings, some because of their prime sightseeing, others for their impeccable service, and others because of their advantageous Hilton Honors award rates.

Here are the 20 best Hilton hotels in the world and what makes them so special.

Zemi Beach House is one of only a few properties that belong to Hilton's luxury hotel brand LXR, and the accommodations, attentive service and amenities reflect the hotel's deluxe designation. The resort sits on 6 acres of Anguilla's picture-perfect coastline, with direct access to Shoal Bay Beach. This boutique hotel has just 76 rooms and suites with either garden or ocean views. Each room is done up in natural hues with blue accents that mirror the sand and sea outside on your private balcony.

The Botanika Osa Peninsula sits right in the middle of one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth.

Guests also enjoy easy access to discover the unique plant and animal species at Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park and the Pacific Ocean's Golfo Dulce.

Standard rooms, as well as one-, two- or three-bedroom suites are available, each with simple but comfortable room decor, colorful tiled bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows. Further adding to the resort's local flair, Botanika Osa Peninsula's Tierra a la Mesa restaurant serves sustainable Costa Rican cuisine, and the on-site spa offers treatments such as a Costa Rican coffee scrub. The resort will also help to arrange experiences like paddling with whale sharks, local hikes and environmental education at the on-site conservation center.

Pricing starts at around $217 or 80,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Separated from the mainland by a short ferry ride and overlooking the Mamanuca Islands, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji is an island oasis that offers phenomenal value.

The resort also has a large, lagoon-style pool overlooking the ocean, access to nonmotorized watersports, swings and loungers from which to enjoy the beach, a game room and activities like Polynesian dance and fire dance demonstrations. The hotel has a fitness center, self-serve library, tennis courts, sand volleyball and a spa that offers haircuts, massages and facials.

Calm, crystal-clear seas, tropical landscaping and an organic, open-air design that complements the island's natural beauty make the Conrad Bora Bora Nui a true paradise on Earth. Standard suites are spacious and set back from the water amid the lush trees, but the real gems of the Conrad Bora Bora Nui are the private pool villas with direct beach access and the overwater pool villas. Both villa types get you about as close to the water as you can be without actually sleeping on a raft in the ocean.

The resort has five unique dining options, ranging from fine French dining at Iriatai to alfresco Mediterranean and Polynesian dishes at the Upa Upa Lounge Bar.

Pricing starts at around $1,471 or 130,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

The Conrad Los Angeles is the upscale Conrad brand's first California property. It sits atop a flashy, modern Frank Gehry-designed mixed-use building and has a 16,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with an infinity pool that overlooks downtown Los Angeles, including the striking Walt Disney Concert Hall, also designed by Gehry.

Guest rooms are bright and comfortable, with light-wood floors, midcentury-inspired furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Touches like a comfortable chaise and small dining table, open wardrobe with a seat and full-length mirror, a Nespresso machine and luxury bath amenities from Byredo reinforce the hotel's luxury classification.

In addition to a rooftop pool and lounge, the Conrad Los Angeles has a spacious fitness center with TechnoGym equipment, a full-service Conrad Spa and a collection of dining options including a tapas and cocktail lounge and two signature restaurants helmed by chef José Andrés.

Pricing starts at around $384 or 90,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

Arriving at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal feels like stepping into a dream. After driving past Cabo San Lucas' raucous bars and nightclubs, you pass through a guarded tunnel and come out on the other side to a pristine stretch of rocky coastline. That's quite an entrance, but the fantasy doesn't end there. For example, during the daily "Guacamole Happy Hour," chips, guacamole, salsa and a bucket with two small Coronas are delivered straight to your room. Talk about a dream!

The hotel serves gourmet, regionally sourced dishes at Don Manuel's (led by executive chef Manuel Huerta), agave tastings at Peacock Alley and tacos at Travesia at Su Cocina. The highlight, however, is a meal at El Farallon. The restaurant is carved into the granite rock face of the cliffs with views of the crashing waves below. There's also a coffee shop, a beach bar and a pool bar.

Other amenities include a quiet, adults-only pool, a family pool, a fitness center with weight and cardio machines, a yoga studio and group fitness classes, and a world-class spa with treatments designed around Mexican folk healing techniques and rituals.

Pricing starts at around $963 or 120,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

The Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort offers family-friendly comfort and fun on the Riviera Maya shore. This 735-room resort has nine pools, a kids water park, a kids club, a teens club, nightly entertainment, a full-service spa, a fitness center and 13 restaurants. In addition to these amenities, you can fill your days with activities, including traditional Mexican art experiences, yoga, meditation and beach games.

The resort's light colors and natural textures convey an eco-chic vibe that complements the mangrove forests, white sand and lapping waves that surround the resort.
