In the United States, there are several examples (although some may not be
well known) of state, federal, and trusted-third-party vendor networks
being hacked and PII being leaked to the black market.  A lot of people
have had their IDs stolen as a result of these hacks and don't know it.

Whenever the government (especially federal) starts putting together a new
database, it is a big target.
