They not only got your SSN but the names, ages and SSN’s of your children/dependents that they will be able to use for years and years to come. They can now rob welfare, food stamps, disability,medicare, retirement, savings...you name it and literally billions will go missing in the future. Once again thanks to a faculty lounge administration.
Actually you must use this hack before you can hack the IRS to get your dependents information. =)
A SSN sells for $20 online. Like you pointed out, it can be used by a hacker to make a few thousand dollars a year.
None of our children have Social Security Numbers. Problem solved.
