Just a quick blurb…
I just learned you can lock your SSN. I froze my credit at the big 3 agencies but now I learned I could LOCK my SSN as well.
Search for E-verify. I don’t want you to trust a link. It’s a joint effort between Social Security and DHS.
Thought it might be useful so you can continue to to buy Wyze products. (Tie-in) 
Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement for the government or for Wyze.
I was unaware of this service, and after reading an article from Brian Krebs on the matter, I’m not sure what it’s expected to do for the average user. Granted, his description of the experience is four years old at this point, and it’s possible that the United States federal government has addressed some of his concerns since then (moving at the government’s pace?), so maybe the best advice is the standard “do your own research”.
Thanks for sharing this.
At first, I thought it was useless but someone tried to use my ssn to open a credit card machine account years ago.
After reading the article, I found about four recent videos on YouTube that explains it.
Someone could use your ssn to get work and get paid but not pay taxes. IRS would come after you for taxes.
With rampant illegal immigration, chances on ssn theft has increased. Also 2.8 billion ssns were exposed online.
If you don’t have a social security account at ssa.gov, get one before someone else.
I encountered ID theft twice and take precautions. I was given an IRS pin for tax time.
I also freezed my credit on 3 agencies.
You don’t want to became scared and paranoid but you need to protect yourself.
The choice is yours.
Ever see the movie, “Beekeeper”. Not exactly the same issue.
EDIT: I thought I replied to a personal message and was surprised it was actually public. No security issues but I probably wouldn’t have offered movie suggestions.
Social Security is the only website I know that observes office hours! And in their time zone, I think.
True. Luckily, e-verify runs under Department of Homeland Security.
That would make me feel safe 
That’s all we got. Vote to make a difference.
I have a free Experian account paid for by AT&T since their data system got hacked.
I also have a LifeLock account. I got notices from both after the latest great hack off the National Public Data Base hack. I put everything in the 
Trust fund. 
Very good. Sounds like you are covered.
LifeLock? Wasn’t their CEO’s SSN hacked?
I have no idea? Makes no difference to me, nothing is in my name except my vehicle registrations. 
He used that fact in his marketing. His ssn was on the side of a semi-truck going through town.
No one wants to steal your marsh mellows besides your furry friends.
I had to alter the marshmallow delivery time because there is a possum that will eat one or two then hide the rest for future snacks. The gang is always late for snack time.
It’s good the long shoreman strike was temporarily suspended.
Slackers. How are they doing with the sign language?
They got the raising one hand part correct but not the one finger yet, I think they all have ADHD.
Here is how to check if your data was in the NPD breach (most likely your data is part of the breach). This site will show you your last two digits of your SSN and your address.
Only asks for First and Last Name, State and Birth Year, so not really secret info. I was able to see my neighbor is in the breach because he told me he just turned 81 years old.
I am in the breach too, but have had my credit frozen for years.
@ssummerlin great info on SSN lock, thanks for posting
It was reported that several people were able to get a credit cards using the LifeLock’s CEO’s SSN.
