I mentioned the not reading the article so people would not waste their time citing facts from the article that may explain the headline that suggested billions social security numbers were leaked. I made no assumptions about missing addresses, as the headline didn't mention anything about missing addresses. I even mentioned that the event the article discussed was probably pretty bad -- definitely not a negative against the article's believability. I'm only guilty of judging a book by its cover, and in an existence of limited time, nobody has time to do any more than that except for limited exceptions. I did not choose to make this article an exception. The headline was mathematically deceptive, and my comment was about that. Nothing more.

If you see an article highlighting a breach of social security numbers and don't assume it's about the U.S., that's crazy to me.
