I'm not saying your employer would do something intentionally malicious either. That's just silly. If something happened to your identity, the breach would likely never be tracked back to your employer.

The point I'm trying to make isn't that you should go ahead and put your SSN in to random websites, but you need to realize your SSN goes a lot of places. Within the last hour I happened to find my parents' names, signatures, DoB, address, and SSNs in public documents from a county website. Keep track of your credit and watch for identity theft. Knowing that you are careful won't help as much as you think. Who knows who will end up using Checkr?
