SSN

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about how a couple of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University broke the code for assigning Social Security numbers.  Using an algorithm, they were able to predict about 5-10% of the time what your number was given a certain set of information.

I decided to research and play with this a little bit and test it out.  Below is video evidence that these numbers are not secure at all.  There are no stooges and no pre-show work; what you see on the video is exactly what you would see in person.
