10 years after I took the ACT, I received a letter from a university that I never went to, saying my SSN was leaked.

Of course now I know better than to give out my SSN to anyone who asks for it, but I didn't know that as a teenager.

Until stupid s**t like this becomes illegal, it will just keep continuing.
