- SteveNuts 1y agoWhere can you do all that without a social security number?
- whatevaa 1y agoIt's not like those numbers haven't already been leaked elsewhere.
- sammy2255 1y agoThere's no concept of social security number in Australia
- esseph 1y agoI feel like I get about a notification every 2 months now for a service I used maybe once 5 or 10 years ago getting breached/extorted/leaked.
- airstrike 1y agoA SSN should never be used as a "password".
- anonzzzies 1y agoThis you can do somewhere? My bank asks me 20 questions (many like my first pet name, the last transaction I did etc) and then calls me back on the registered phone number. That data alone should get you nothing really. For credit here , small or large, you have to prove you are you or you get a nice police escort. Most of these apps, even if you are already registered, want you to tap your passport to nfc and scan your face for anything serious.

- LadyCailin 1y agoYour bank, sure. But what about all the other banks? Just need to target the weakest link.
- jvvw 1y agoSurely name, email, phone and date of birth aren't enough to do this at any bank? That's not quite public info but near enough. I've filled that in on hundreds of forms during my life and it's info that any of my friends have.
- anonzzzies 1y agoNot at any bank here and don't think anywhere: AML KYC rules would cut that down at least everywhere I know.
- spwa4 1y agoPretty easy at stores for example.
