Job search question - sites asking for SSN

Man, you just gave me an awesome idea. Post phony jobs on job sites, ask for SSNs, DOBs, maiden names, etc. And sell the information on the dark web! The best part would be that you don't have to hack anyone, just let them come to you.
Already been done - a computer security researcher set up a bogus WiFi network in New York and for 15 minutes of free WiFi people were willing go give out the SSN, mother's maiden name, first pet, etc. He was appalled.
Jumping into the job search again for a sysadmin position in Atlanta and I have noticed that there are some job boards (icims and others that I have seen) asking for my SSN. I am assuming that, if they are legit, they want this for a background check but I was curious if this was common for most/all job searching businesses. Any leads in Atlanta would be helpful :)

Some sites ask for adobe flash player. My IPad doesn't support it. How can I get over it?
You could try a third-party browser app such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Why is my public web site asking for authentication ?
Hi,
Why is my public web site asking for authentication ?
My web site and the section of the default page belongs to Public group.
My layout belongs to the WebAsset group.
The document inside the default page belongs to Public group and Web/FP/RepMetiersSP account.
Public group has only read access to everything.
Also, what is the difference between unspecified group (inside site studio designer) and Public group ?
Thanks,
Jean-PierreMy fault. Inside this environment, I've specified the need for an account to access documents.

I was starting my "search word" game tonight as I always do, when a question asking for my Apple password appeared in order to play. So I entered my password. The question disappeared and I could continue the game. After that I felt very uncomfortable. Is this a common thing to happen? Has it happened to anyone else. Can't get a hold of anyone at Apple because it's after hours....
Change your Apple ID password.

The program would enter info for me. I only had to type the first letter or number of the info needed. For example, my first name is OSCAR. So, to enter this info in the box marked "First name", I only had to type in the box the letter "O". The program would then type OSCAR. I would then click on the name "OSCAR" and the name OSCAR would be entered in the box asking for my first name. Same with "city", "zip code", "last name", "email address", etc. Is this a Firefox feature??
That feature would be provided by an add-on for Firefox. The most popular add-on of that type was the Google Toolbar for Firefox, which has been discontinued by Google for Firefox 5 and future versions. <br />

There are a number of different '''"auto fill"''' add-ons that are available from other developers. Look at this search for one that meets your needs. <br />

When a site asks for a client certificate, not all certificates are presented.
At www.pkiuniversity.com/sandbox/index.php, I am asked for a client certificate. I get to choose from a list of the certificates issued by startcom but not my own. The extended key usage does mark it for client authentication. The root certificate corresponding to the signing private key is also in the store. Why don't these certificates pop up. They do in Safari.
If you're interested, I get my certificate from
reloid.com/enrollments/cheapcerts3/getcert.php?email=[email protected]
This is designed to be a very insecure certificate with no chance of being added to the built-in cache. -

All sites are telling me i need to upgrade Adobe Flash Player which i have done successfully many times, i've uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted plsu tried some other tips like using software rendering for accelerated graphics but still the same upgrade error can anyone out there help?Hi again Jay,
The Flash files that are in the SysWOW64 location, those files need to be there, but more complete info should be listed.
Could you post back the complete info on the Flash .ocx, .dll & the .exe? Otherwise I have no idea what version you have.
Also, go to Tools, Manage addons and look for Shockwave Flash Object. What version is it and is it Enabled?
All of the above is important as they make up Flash Player. I do not need any Install log info, so please don't post that.
Thanks,

sites requiring a set of letters to be entered before acceptance into a survey/competition cannot be completed using firefox. The request using IE is successful.
I agree that one must play with the software and an actual cart to understand the software capabilities as it would apply to an individual situation.
Be forewarned if you need to import VPP apps that have a comma or other punctuation mark in the title because you will not be able to install the apps and according to Apple there is no work around. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/17842550#17842550. I had the same problem with "Beautiful Planet: HD" Luckily we have 2 carts and only one has been set up with the Configurator so if anyone needs to use that app they will have to use the other cart. Once an iPad has been associated with the Configurator there is no other way to install apps on it (unless you unsupervise it and then restore it to factory defaults and start from scratch using imaging or whatever.)
I think that this bug is reason to wait for version 1.1...unless you know for certain that you have no VPP apps with punctuation in the titles. -
all ipads at home, as well as imac and macbook pro, suddenly started to request a flash update when trying to access youtube, google or some other sites. My flash is already up to date in OSX. Then I can not enter into these sites. This seems to be a virus ? Any suggestion how to fix it ?
Your wireless router has been hacked. This is a very common symptom of that right now. See:

The message I receive when I try to install Flash Player is as follows:
"You can't open the application 'flashplayer 10 ax debug 4.exe' because Microsoft Windows

It's not, although macupdate & probably other third party sites still show the old one & offer the 11.8.800.88 beta alongside.

Hi guys,
I am new in e-recruiting. I have created requisition, released then posted and publicated.(step by step)
My publication is for internal, Now I want find my publication via "Job Search". I can't find it. and I dont know this module well.
Please help me
Thanks and regards
SamirHello Samir,
Job search is a relatively broad area where it's nearly impossible to give you a quick overview. That's the reason I mentioned the wiki pages as there you have potential errors/check reports mentioned you can use to investigate why the job search isn't working for you.
There can be several issues on that: not indexed on TREX, fulltextsearch not working but attribute on does, wrong search application customizing, wrong SICF service customizing and so on.
If you have done changes on the search customizing it is usally the best to start the check report I mentioned as there you see what search settings might be missing or are wrong. If all steps are shown with green lights then you can take the next steps.
Regards
Nicole
