In Boffins guess social security numbers via public data
I find it quite stunning that a society so fond of litigation should have so many businesses happy to "confirm" identity with SSNs. If they just said "OK, so you know the guy's name, you're obviously him." then the resulting legal onslaught would make Desert Storm look like a walk in the park. But apparently using SSNs is OK. Does US law have no notion of negligence?
It is truly *very* strange.
