    It’s really lame that companies like AT&T even need your SSN. Why do they need that to set up a phone line or an internet connection? There’s gotta be a better way.

        Something of a joke that, since the SSN is an identifier, the identity tool quickly becomes an identity theft tool once it’s been pilfered.

        With humans increasingly pushed out of the customer service loop, these security scams get easier every day.

    The fact that your SSN is so important and still so insecure is pathetic. Thanks US government.
