Something is sketchy with that. Even if SAT/GRE/ACT scores are sent to school, why in the hell would those include your ssn

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

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY HOLDING ON TO THAT 10 YEARS LATER!?!?!?

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.
