Those jobs you're applying to? They might not be real

I was asked for a copy of my passport for several of my last jobs (in Sweden).

Worryingly, during Covid, a photo of a password was accepted as complete identification in many places (outside Sweden, domestically we have much better electronic ids).

So there is definitely some useful non public data you can steal.

During COVID in my personal experience, a lot of financial institutions waived things like coming into a branch or getting a notarized signature. Also in my experience most things have gone back to where they were before.

As another comment notes a lot of information is either public or widely disseminated, eg in the US my address is public on the voter rolls and I give out my checking account number every time I write a check.
