    You can reverse engineer a good bit of an SSN if you just have someone’s birth date and where they were born.

      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 yeah I agree that just getting a SSN is not a big issue itself but the fact that you can reverse engineer it from known information makes it not a very good security measure to prove identity.
