claimed to have access to the personal data of 2.9 billion people from the U.S., U.K., and Canada

How does that work, when the total population of those countries is less than 0.5 billion?

Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.
