On a job application site for my local government it reveals if a specific social security has been used or not on that site. The site is very outdated.

    True, but this is all applicants as it’s a third party website. So likely not a huge issue, but it does lead me to believe there are other issues with their data handling.

      Wonder if that record of ssns that its checking against is encrypted. That seems harder so maybe that’s a step they skipped?
