South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said on Jan. 23 that her personal cell phone number has been hacked and used to make hoax calls, blaming the Jan. 6 committee for releasing her family’s Social Security numbers.

“Callous mishandling of personal information has real world consequences,” Noem said in a press release. “If you get such a phone call from my number, know that I had no involvement.”
