He mentions that there are "shockingly complete" SSN databases available online. Is there any more information on this? Any way to find out if your own SSN or that of a loved one might be in such a database?
- kscaldef 14y agoYour SSN was never intended to be a secret, and the fact that anyone ever treated it as such was a flawed idea.
- georgefox 14y agoI completely agree. Unfortunately, many places that use SSN for identity verification don't seem to think so.
- t0asterb0t 14y agoIt's quite likely. I was at a presentation by Kevin Mitnick recently where he pulled members of the audience on stage, and, using only their name, found their SSN and history of residence. They're not very private, unfortunately.
