    If you have no connection with them, then you haven't signed anything indemnifying them for their actions with your data, so do you have grounds to sue for damages?

    Abolish SSNs.

      Absolutely. The real moral liability here rests with any organization still using SSNs as a form of secret or authenticating credential. Spend the legal fees to go after these people and the problem will be truly solved.

    Something is sketchy with that. Even if SAT/GRE/ACT scores are sent to school, why in the hell would those include your ssn

      10 years after I took the ACT, I received a letter from a university that I never went to, saying my SSN was leaked.

      WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY HOLDING ON TO THAT 10 YEARS LATER!?!?!?

      Of course now I know better than to give out my SSN to anyone who asks for it, but I didn't know that as a teenager.

      Until stupid s**t like this becomes illegal, it will just keep continuing.
