SSN’s aren’t something that are shared with others that often though. Mostly in banking/credit/medical/legal. Medical and gov probably isn’t allowed to sell that info, so it makes me wonder who is.
Considering the amount of identity fraud in the US, it amazes me that a data broker not only has the info, but is allowed to sell it.
