Over on PogoWasRight.org, I’ve posted about a study released by researchers Alessandro Acquisti and Ralph Gross of Carnegie Mellon University. The study has significant implications for the use of SSN and for protecting against identity theft, even though a government spokesperson responded by seemingly downplaying the findings and their implications.
If you would like to read additional coverage of the study, there are already about 100 news stories that have appeared since the study was posted online at 5 pm, including articles in the New York Times and Associated Press , as well as Wired. The press release on the study can be found here.
