Yes, but you can change your SSN anytime, it is still considered confidential info and the US has no easily changeable national ID system.
Most banks let you take over an account with just SSN and knowledge of debitcard number (without cvv code) and sometimes dob.
If you think your ssn is exposed don't count on companies and government bureaus not relying on it. Change it.
