It sure would help all of us if that kind of background info were no longer used for verifying identity or granting credit. Info like SSNs, addresses, etc. never really was _secret_ anyway, it just wasn't all compiled into one place and for so many people.
- scrapcode 11y agoExactly my point. It has never been a good idea to use something like a social security number and the high school you graduated from to authenticate you as a person. But no one gives a shit because it works for the majority. But most importantly, because that problem isn't being addressed by anyone. Securing a bunch of G employee's information is much less exciting than building the newest SaaS app that gets a few million in funding.
