I gave the clerk my SSN and she asked if it was obtained in XX state (different than where I was at the time). She said the first three digits indicate what state the card had been issued in.Evil Twin's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947080160500549248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11857310.post-40215702030503818522009-07-07T19:25:31.452-04:002009-07-07T19:25:31.452-04:00I've known about this for some time, as I'...I've known about this for some time, as I've dealt with SSNs for years. But in order to predict someone's SSN you'd have to spend some time figuring out the triggers for the patterns. Not impossible as the study shows, but you'd have to have access to a data on a sizable number of people to start with. I like to think the government keeps that a little private, but who knows. Still, I used to be able to pinpoint the area of the country people were from by their SSN and age. I never tried to do it in reverse though. LOL. And I'm too ethical to use the info for anything illegal. :-)Into the Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573119412549772546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11857310.post-66235513177275462742009-07-07T16:50:01.827-04:002009-07-07T16:50:01.827-04:00I can't believe the amount of information some...I can't believe the amount of information some people put on the internet about themselves. On a classmates page, for instance, there for all to find is the year they graduated, thus a pointer to their age, and the city. A number of them would also be born in that city. Also pictures of their children. Scary.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145008534811435024noreply@blogger.com
