Take it from a former fraud analyst for a credit card company and credit analyst for government/military security clearances, do not give your SSN to anyone even your bank/cc if it is not an absolute necessity as you just increase the possibility of someone being able to access that information.

What... Do banks even give out credit without any kind of SSN? lol that makes no sense. To me its like saying, dont give your SSN to the government because if the government gets hacked (and they did... stupid OPM), then your SSN gets stolen.
