Place of birth is usually the first 3 digits of your SSN and birthday can get you close with the second 2 because there is an order that they were issued. So if you have DoB, Birthplace, and the last 4 digits, you can guess someone's SSN in a few tries.

Not true at all.

My birthplace is Washington DC and my SSN starts with 325 and not WDC.

My birthday is 2/21 but my second 2 digits are 45.

But your last 4 digits are based on your mother's maiden name, right?

That would be Harper, but again, my last four is 6528.
