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.
Does it require the skills of using powershell to open and search? I'm very curious but am not a coder, I do audio and graphic design. That being said I've copy pasted pieces of python, tailored it to my use and made it work.*
I'm just very curious to check for myself and my family.
*hah, here's me making it work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMeRFnkHgBc&t=97s
The world has stopped pretending a long time ago. In my country SSN is public information.
