let alone possible implications for combating spam, this is a good ruling for our safety. there should be some liability for someone looking to obtain information like someone's SSN. I guess if any wackjob with a grudge can buy a social security number and mom's maiden name, it's good that they hold some liability for the actions they take with that information. ...it still doesn't make me feel that much better that any wackjob with a grudge can buy someone's SSN, though.
