Even if what you say were true, handwaving this as unimportant because it only affects people over the age of ten seems a bit silly.
- kindredlight 5y agoSSNs are entirely insecure as mentioned earlier in this thread. Geographic prefixes are a drop in the bucket on that front. The post that I replied to is almost entirely incorrect as it relates to available SSN “keyspace” (misnomer), uniqueness, etc.—-for which geographic prefixes and group numbers are relevant. I supplied direct sources, so no idea what your “even if what you say were true” skepticism is rooted in.
