Why is your salary good for your age? Shouldn't it be good for your skillset? If I can do the same job as someone ten years older.. why does he get more money? I don't care that he has a wife and kids to feed...
In this universe. Your credit is checked to make sure you weren't bouncing checks somewhere else. The bank also wants to make sure that you're not a large risk (i.e. going to overdraft your account to pay another bill and leave the bank holding the bag).
It would be very easy for anyone higher then a bank teller to steal this information with a note pad. What's to keep me from folding up the paper and stuffing it in my shorts? Do you propose strip searches for all bank and hospital employees now? Welcome to the information age, your personal information is not safe and I think you'll be hard pressed to find any method for keeping it safe!
It's also pretty difficult to check your credit with out it. If you can find a bank that will give you a loan or checking account without your SSN.. let me know.
Sadly, someone from the IT group would always be abl e to see that info. And this information was leaked by high ranking executives! What's broken here is the people who were so easily convinced to give the data up... not the banks.
Did you even read the article? Someone from inside, at least at one of the banks, sold the information to the guy. Are you suggesting that banks keep your information secure from all of it's own employees?

Hiding something?
Live in the state of Rhode Island and work in Boston, MA.. you'll pay taxes to MA and RI. This is nothing new or special.
