MUSC TO END USE OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS
The Charleston Post and Courier reports, MUSC to end use of Social Security numbers, "a move school officials say will safeguard students, employees, volunteers and contractors from identity theft." In light of Think Your Social Security Number Is Secure? Think Again, this action is long overdue.
We have been concerned about the issue of use of family court records for identity theft purposes for some time and have written about the issue on more previously. See, this post for example. Therefore, MUSC's decision is, though belated, a welcome decision. Hopefully, the South Carolina Legislature will take steps to prevent unlimited public access to Family Court Records.
