Your Credit Score Just Got Hacked: Peter Thiel’s Data Broker Empire Is Selling Your Private Info to Scammers
Consumer advocates are sounding the alarm after revelations that a network of data brokers linked to billionaire investor Peter Thiel has been quietly collecting and selling your most intimate financial details—often without your knowledge. This means the very data that determines your loan rates, insurance premiums, and even job offers is being traded like a cheap commodity. If you’ve noticed surprise debt collection calls or mysterious credit inquiries, experts say this shadowy practice could be why. Worse, Thiel’s firms reportedly use obscure legal loopholes to avoid opt-out laws, meaning you can’t easily stop them. Your wallet is now at risk of identity theft and predatory lending, all while big tech profits off your life. Take action today by freezing your credit reports before this data pool floods the scammer market.
