- artificial 6y agoBank fraud. :)
- judge2020 6y agoAssuming someone knows your name, address, and SSN (something which isn't meant to be secret - the SSA even printed 'not for identification' on the cards for a while), they can apply for credit cards in your name as they often require no other form of identification. The U.S. doesn't have a national login system for identity verification or anything so there's not much that could be done here from the security aspect besides creating a federal credit beurau or a federal ID system (or if login.gov allowed third-party companies to use it).

- ropans808 6y agoThat's kind of what identity theft is, and it is distressingly possible.
