After the Social Security numbers of more than 400 former congressional staffers and others were made public in files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the White House acknowledged the breach and worked to mitigate the harm.

"mitigate the harm" suggests they caught it before more social security numbers were released.
Aside from wondering why that information was there in the first place, is it true, or did they mean this info was just removed after the fact?
The unredacted Kennedy files that were released exposed names, addresses and SSNs of current high ranking government officials and prominent lawyers. Can you say class action lawsuit? The administration was supposedly combing through the report after it was released. Good job!
“Acknowledged the breach and worked to mitigate harm” is the safe way to say “breached records and caused harm.” We are living in a new era where journalism is no longer a check on power.
They offered to provide new SS#’s and free credit monitoring. My estimate is these individuals are somewhere in their late 70’s - 80’s and that exposed SS# has been apart of everything in their lives especially their finances, really? 😡. No surprise, absolute morons in the WH starting with the 🍊💩
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
So the 400 people's personal information bring shared without their knowledge isn't a breach. I'm sure you'd feel the same about your own being widely shared.
The current White House is full of stupid people doing stupid things every single day. Hopefully (but doubtful) there are Republicans in the House and Senate who are only temporarily stupid and will soon wake up.
BREAKING NEWS: After the nuclear launch codes were entered and the war heads were flying President Trump's administration scrambled to mitigate the damage.
So, after you give these innocent seniors new social security numbers, how are they going to get a hold of the SSA after you gutted it and turned the phones off asshole??? Morons, the whole lot.
Just tell those 70 and 80 year olds to call their nearest SS office and straighten it all out. Should only take 4 or 5 years. In the meantime, the SS office will cut off your benefits.
"President Trump is obsessed with my grandfather — but not in his life or what he achieved in it. No, just like RFK Jr., Trump
is only interested in JFK’s carcass...
JFK fought fascism and Communism. Trump is selling us out to tech warlords, at home and abroad."
What an IDIOT, Trump is! What sycophantic morons around him, including Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, would allow that to be published, exposing people's Social Security numbers, simply because they're afraid to tell him!
We have an emperor. Someone needs to yell, "The Emperor is naked!"

They can't do anything right.
And they never will.
We're living in, arguably, the dumbest timeline in human history.
Really?
You thought this was better than the alternative.
Really?
worked to mitigate the harm ... you do know about whom you are talking? Abysmal.
