Not sure if it's a problem of perception or just the lack of legal responsibility. As long as the legal and financial risk isn't owned by the party using the SS

Not sure if it's a problem of perception or just the lack of legal responsibility. As long as the legal and financial risk isn't owned by the party using the SSN for a purpose they shouldn't (identification), nothing will change.
- rory 5y ago100%. The very concept of "identity theft" feels like corporate newspeak to shift the onus of remediation from the party that actually got defrauded (the company) to someone uninvolved in the transaction.
- ryanlol 5y agoHow is the financial risk not owned by the party using the SSN for identification? Guess who ends up footing the bill when a bank gives a loan to someone pretending to be you? Hint: It’s not you, and it’s not the fraudster either.
