So, basically what you would have gotten from the white pages, and an incomplete social security number. Is he worried someone is going to try to steal his identity? Mail him anthrax? Text or email him dick pics? Wasn't he already concerned about those things? He's the nominee for VP, and his running mate tried to have his predecessor killed on national television. He has tied to Russian oligarchs who defenestrate judges, and he's the target of international spies who want his access to state secrets. He's worried about half his social security number?
it's his complete dox essentially. Unsure if that phone # is his personal or a work, but if its his personal i could see that being pretty annoying, having your personal/work phone being completely overwhelmed by like 20 million people on the internet would be something.
I can see why it's a concern, but i've seen far worse on twitter, so i can't really care.
I mean, I can also understand the knee jerk reaction, but I cannot imagine that he hasn't had a new phone with a new number since the moment they knew their data was compromised.
if not now as soon as his phone explodes lol
