"With all of the data breaches that have been in the news lately, it's understandable that many people would like to know if their personal information was part of the lost data (hint: it probably was). To meet this need, a new site is offering a way for users to search a database of social security numbers and credit cards that have been exposed. This seems problematic for several reasons.
