FedNow to the Rescue? 2.9 Billion Records Hacked as Banks Bleed $750 Billion in Unrealized Losses

Written by Derek Wolfe The financial system is hemorrhaging. With banks sitting on over $750 billion in unrealized losses, according to the latest SEC Edgar filings, the U.S. financial house of cards is teetering. Enter FedNow—the Federal Reserve’s shiny new solution to fix the mess with instant payments, 24/7 money transfers, and centralized control. But don’t let the slick marketing fool you: this isn’t just about faster payments. This is about control. And if you’re not paying attention, you’ll be locked down before you know it. Meanwhile, while they sell you on FedNow’s “security,” your real data is already for sale on the dark web. A staggering 2.9 billion records, including names, Social Security numbers, decades of address history, and even the dirt on your dead relatives, are floating around out there—thanks to a massive breach at National Public Data (NPD). And here’s the kicker: NPD didn’t even bother to tell you. Why would they? Legally, they don’t have to. Who’s Bleeding You Dry? The Companies Behind the Curtain National Public Data is the latest corporate player to hang you out to dry, but they’re not alone. Let’s peel back the curtain on some of the key players who are positioning themselves to take control of your money and your data under the guise of “security” and “convenience.” 1. National Public Data (NPD) A Florida-based background check company run by Jerico Pictures, Inc., NPD has been quietly gathering data on millions of Americans for years without your consent. This is the same data that’s now up for grabs on the dark web. They’ve gone dark since the breach, and the only thing they’ve managed to say is, “We’re investigating.” Translation: you’re on your own. 2. FIS (Financial Institution Solutions) FIS is the engine behind FedNow. They’re selling the Fed’s new 24/7 instant payment infrastructure to financial institutions across the country. FIS offers everything from bill pay and loan systems to person-to-person (P2P) payments, all integrated with FedNow. They’re rolling out FedNow Explorer, a propaganda tool designed to hype up this new digital financial system. But what they’re really doing is tightening the digital noose around your wallet. 3. FedNow Service Brought to you by the Federal Reserve, the FedNow Service promises to “revolutionize” payments by making it easier for financial institutions to send and receive money instantly, any time of day. It’s all part of the government’s grand plan to create a digital payment infrastructure that reaches into every corner of the financial system—including smaller community banks. Sounds convenient, right? Except this also means greater surveillance and less autonomy for you, the individual. FedNow is being sold as the solution to a financial system on the brink of collapse. But make no mistake—this is about control. With banks bleeding billions in unrealized losses, the Federal Reserve is stepping in to seize control of the monetary system, all while tightening their grip on you through digital currency and instant payments. The more you rely on their system, the less freedom you have. What YOU Need to Do Now: Protect Yourself Before It’s Too Late As the Fed tightens the screws, your personal data is already floating around on the dark web, ripe for the taking. If you’ve been compromised by the National Public Data breach—and chances are, you have—don’t just sit there. Here’s how to fight back before it’s too late: 1. Check if You’ve Been Compromised Head to nod.pentester.com to find out if your data is part of the 2.9 billion records leaked. Knowledge is power. Once you know, you can start locking things down. 2. Sign Up for LifeLock NOW Identity thieves are already circling. Protect yourself by joining LifeLock immediately. This service will monitor your personal information, alert you to any suspicious activity, and help you recover if you become a victim of identity theft. Waiting is not an option. 3. Upgrade Your Security Run full security scans on all your devices to check for malware. If you find anything suspicious, remove it immediately or hire a professional to do it. Hackers can get in through the smallest crack, and once they’re in, they can wreak havoc on your life. 4. Change ALL Your Passwords It’s time to overhaul your passwords across the board—bank accounts, emails, social media, everything. Make sure they’re long, complex, and unique to each account. And for god’s sake, don’t use “password123” or your dog’s name. 5. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Add an extra layer of protection to your most sensitive accounts. MFA requires you to verify your identity in two steps (like entering a code sent to your phone). Even if hackers get your password, MFA can stop them dead in their tracks. 6. Freeze Your Credit If your Social Security number is out there—and it probably is—freeze your credit reports with the major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). This prevents anyone from opening new accounts in your name, locking out identity thieves before they can strike. 7. Beware of Phishing Scams Now that your info is circulating on the dark web, you can bet you’ll be targeted by phishing scams. Be hyper-vigilant with your email and phone—don’t click on suspicious links, open strange attachments, or give out personal info over the phone. FedNow: The “Solution” or the Next Step Toward Financial Lockdown? As FedNow rolls out, they’ll sell you on “convenience” and “security,” but don’t let the smoke and mirrors fool you. This is about locking down the financial system, controlling how and when you access your money, and tracking every transaction. It’s digital currency with a leash, and the Fed is holding the other end. The financial lockdown is closer than you think. Banks are bleeding $750 billion, your data is for sale, and the Fed’s digital stranglehold is tightening. The time to act is now.
