Everyone's social security number is available. If you go download the leak referring to in this HN post [1], your SSN is certainly in it. Mine was, everyone in my family's was, almost all of my friends' were.

The world needs to stop pretending that SSNs are secret. They aren't.

The world has stopped pretending a long time ago. In my country SSN is public information.
