What details?
> The investigator said in some states fraudsters need only to submit someone’s name, Social Security number and other basic information for their claims to be processed.
This is the problem, a complete lack of security. Why doesn't the US use an electronic signature supported by a digital certificate as we do in Europe?
- xerox13ster 6y agoHas there been a real profitable incentive to implement the technology? Then why spend the money for a risk that may not have an impact tends to be the mindset.
- Kronen 6y agoWell you have an incentive when you read stuff like this: - Hackers from China are believed to have stolen the social security number for every US federal employee in a cyber-attack much larger than it first seemed (2015) - For the first time ever, data breaches compromised more Social Security numbers (35 percent) than credit card numbers (30 percent). The Equifax breach was largely responsible for that. (2017) - If a cyberthief has your name, address and SSN, he is not far from being able to steal your identity. (2018)
