[conspire] Senior-year high school photos

[Texx]

One of these days, I will finish an article to be posted to Linked IN
"Identity Theft For Fun & Profit",
the gist of which is that with the last 4 digits of your SSN, your resume
and birthday, and some websearching
will give you the entire SSN.
All you have to do is pretend to be a recruiter, and you can reverse
engineer SSN for sale on the dark web.

Im going back and forth, should I post it to get companies to stop asking
for SSN even partials,
or should I NOT post it because I dont want to give anyone any ideas.

I got tripped up when I tried to use Feb 29th as a dob.
Apparently the software cant handle anyone born on leap day.
