I assume everybody's SSN has been leaked at one time or another by now.

Which means we no longer need to store and handle them securely, right? Can I have yours?

You can probably look it up online if you really want to, since it was already leaked.

Mine was leaked several times. At least once by the government itself. See https://iapp.org/news/a/21-5-million-breached-in-second-opm-... for example.

SSNs where never meant to be secret. It's an ID not a password. You can thank banks and credit card companies for treating them like a verification system.
