   20 years ago I had a background check when Pennsylvania was going to a new   
   CJIN interface and I had to go to a meeting in Harrisburg. Fast forward to   
   a couple of weeks ago and I was notified that one of the PA sites had been   
   hacked and my name and SSN was among the data that had been scraped. At   
   least I got a free year of Experian.   
      
   Data lives forever and isn't very well secured.
