Hacker Reveals 2.8 Billion Social Security Numbers Exposed in Florida Breach
"The National Public Data breach was ridiculous, to be honest with you. It was 2.8 billion records about a year and a half ago, roughly. And a Florida sheriff ran a data broker website, which had access to all of this data. He decided to reuse credentials for a demo project on his main production system, which allowed 2.8 billion records to be exposed with your social security number."
About this episode
Tucker Carlson interviewed cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker Ryan Montgomery in a wide-ranging conversation that exposed severe vulnerabilities in American digital infrastructure and revealed organized Satanist groups exploiting children online. Montgomery began by demonstrating how he obtained Carlson's Social Security number, driver's license details, property signatures, and motorcycle registration in 20 minutes using publicly available data from the National Public Data breach—a 2.8 billion record exposure caused by a Florida sheriff reusing login credentials on a data broker website. The breach has made identity theft trivially easy for anyone who downloaded the file. The conversation took a darker turn as Montgomery detailed his work investigating child exploitation networks, particularly organized Satanist groups connected to Order of Nine Angles operating on Roblox and other platforms. These groups, going by names like 764 and Harm Nation, use fake mental health support forums to groom vulnerable children, then extort them into cutting group names into their bodies, harming animals, attacking strangers, and committing suicide on camera. Montgomery revealed a 13-year-old girl hung herself in a parking lot while group members watched and encouraged her. Despite 450 active FBI investigations, only 30-35 arrests have been made in 3-4 years. Montgomery exposed that Roblox banned a vigilante who facilitated 6 predator arrests and sent him a cease and desist, allegedly not permitting law enforcement investigations on the platform. He also revealed Project Veritas killed an investigation into a 7,000-person pedophile database after James O'Keefe's departure, with interim CEO Hannah Giles calling the story 'not a tidal wave.' The episode concluded with Montgomery demonstrating consumer hacking devices including signal jammers that disable all home security systems, garage door hacking tools, and key fob duplicators. He showed how smart home devices from light bulbs to vacuums can be weaponized for surveillance and network infiltration. Montgomery emphasized the need for parental awareness and digital hygiene, promoting his company Pentester which helps consumers identify and remove their digital footprints.
