According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.
The entire number is garbage. Change the last digit and you have randomly guessed a perfectly valid SSN.
Less secure than a gift card
Well, it's an identifier, your problem if that you have been using it as some kind of access key
You can guess a phone number as well by changing the last number, but that information has 0 value unless it is coupled with other informations.
I am not sure if you are agreeing with me or not, but DOB and location where you were born are additional informations as I mentioned in my replie before.
Oh I totally agree with that. It's dumb that there is so many systems that use SSNs as an identification.
My identity infos have been leaked with the Desjardins leaks, so my SSN is forever known and all the critical services that uses SSNs are now more vulnerable.
