    The entire number is garbage. Change the last digit and you have randomly guessed a perfectly valid SSN.

    Less secure than a gift card

      Well, it’s an identifier, your problem if that you have been using it as some kind of access key

      You can guess a phone number as well by changing the last number, but that information has 0 value unless it is coupled with other informations.

        You can reverse engineer a good bit of an SSN if you just have someone’s birth date and where they were born.
