  When you provide your social security information to a platform or exchange, it can increase the risk of identity theft and fraud. Hackers can potentially use this information to gain unauthorized access to your accounts and steal your digital assets. It's important to only provide your social security information to trusted and reputable platforms that have strong security measures in place to protect your personal data.

  Providing your social security information can also make you more susceptible to phishing attacks. Scammers may try to trick you into revealing your social security number by sending fake emails or creating fraudulent websites. Always be cautious and verify the legitimacy of any requests for your social security information before providing it.
