You joke, but the IRS didn't always require a TIN in addition to SSN, for example

"THe only thing that stops a bad actor with a data breach is a good actor with a data breach"

!scandicks Burgers are evolving

This but unironicly. If everyones social security number gets leaked the government will be forced to make an actually secure system to replace it

Equifax breach demonstrated you could do anything you want with American's private info and they don't give a frick, like this is Zuckerberging 101

I think it was 2015 when every security clearance application was hacked by some group. If you don't know what's on that, it's practically every noteworthy thing about your life including friends and extended family.

I got paid like $500 in that settlement, so it was worth it in the end.

Weebs are guilty of literal treason and should be shot

wanna be on an FBI watchlist with me?

>tfw your identity gets stolen and your whole life is fricked up for a year+ because of some spiteful ghoul.

!chuds what is stopping Iran or Russian from just opening maxxed out unsecured credit cards for every American using this?

Lmbo, if wages go down and prices don't (they wont), how has flation gone down?

it's crossed my feed in three unrelated ways and IRL from actual people. if you didnt know about it yet, reconsider your sources of information

I just assume that people who aren't supposed to have my data have gotten my data, so I'm never surprised or upset when it actually happens

Burgers are fat, dumb, and happy relatively speaking. Just enough so when things go up in flames they don't really know or care

Hi I have hacked the government archives on aliens. Please download this suspicious attachment to get the truths.

We're too busy riding Kamala's vibe wave.

I think its fake

Its literally just some numbers get over urself 🙄

This is like the 3rd time everyones social security number has been stolen

>Give me your SSN

>I go to one of those digital bank websites

>Open savings account instantly with just SSN

>Put in $2500 twice in weekly intervals

>Forge some gig job papers from a foreign company

>Global shithousery

>Go to another fintech shit

>Take out the max loan from that company keeping the first as primary collateral account

>Heck yeah, easy $50k

!R-slurs don't forget this easy money hack if you get someone else's SSN

"Steal someone's identity" most of the time just means "apply for credit in their name." Like if I apply for a credit card, and the information I entered matches that on my credit report, I can get approved without further ado—it is unusual to be asked to verify your income or identity. I only had to do that for the first credit card I got.

Fraudulent tax returns are another popular one. If you file as a tax preparer, there is no verification of identity of the client, only a match for the last name, Social Security number and dates of birth. So you can enter another address to mail the check to or a direct deposit bank account you control. (The name on the account must match, but there are commercial services that automate making new accounts.) If you file as an individual, you'd need to know the adjusted gross income on the tax return for last year, but 0 works if they didn't file. So with big data leaks people make fraudulent filings in bulk to claim refundable credits and at least some of those will get through.

It's not really about living as another person, just the equivalent of a smash-and-grab robbery.

It's much, much less common than it used to be. A lot of services have stopped treating SSNs as presumptive proof of identify.
