Tangentially related - wouldn't that mean that if you are an immigrant, then you are at least theoretically somewhat safe from that enumeration type of an attack?

Because if I got my SSN in my late teens, then my date of birth shouldn't mean much at all to anyone trying to use that method you describe, right?

Your date and place of birth would not be helpful, but an analogous attack may be possible. The key factors are when and where you applied and that the SSN was issued before June 25, 2011.
