Yesterday I asked a few guys on the TCC SILC channel for ideas for a new poll. The first suggestion had to do with keeping SSN's. I thought it was ironic because there was a thread on a PCI mail list asking that very question. They guy on the TCC channel that suggested the SSN question was completely unaware of the PCI mail thread. Then when I got home I had a letter in the mail telling me that a company that has access to my PII had had it compromised. It was sold by an employee to a marketing broker. Who knows what happened to it after that. Part of the information that they had was my SSN. How lovely. Then on top of that I remembered a friend who works in a university environment that has had a couple of SSN incidents lately. So all of that combined made me think that a Poll on the validity of companies keeping SSN's was in order. So here is the question and you can rush to my web site to take the poll.
