Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But is that number publicly available? If so (or if nothing bad happens if people do know it), is there an issue? Edit: H

Edit: Hmm ... "This has led to complaints of the possibility of fraud and identity theft. Therefore, now when NRIC numbers are publicly displayed, only the last three digits and the letters are displayed." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Registration_Identity_Card http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Registration_Identity_...
- sivers 15y agoThis is one way to find out. You've also got my home address and mobile phone# in the public corporate records (see bottom of http://50pop.com/ http://50pop.com/ ) - so I'm not relying on security through obscurity.
- bemmu 15y agoAfter proudly getting my driver's license I put an image of it online. Someone printed it out while replacing the picture with their own face. Police saw this fake ID. Even though the quality was laughable, I was called in for questioning because they thought I might have cooperated in the fraud. But yeah, probably an unlikely enough event to not worry about it.
