Various public records (PR) in the U.S. contain Social Security numbers (SSN) and other personal identifying info. that could be used to commit fraud and identity theft. PR are gov’t. agency-held records made available to the public in their entirety for inspection, such as property and court records. PR keepers in some states and localities have more recently been maintaining electronic images of their PR which can be made available through the Internet or easily transferred to other parties in bulk quantities. This report examines: (1) to what extent, for what reasons, and to whom are PR that may contain SSNs available for bulk purchase and online; and (2) what measures have been taken to protect SSNs that may be contained in these PR.
