On a job application site for my local government it reveals if a specific social security has been used or not on that site. The site is very outdated.

If you ask someone to hack your "friends" socials you're just going to get banned so don't do that.

I’m not sure how dangerous that is. They’re not coupling that warning with any other data, so all you know is that a social already exists in that system. I don’t see a way from the screenshot to gather more info around the social.
I guess if you already knew someone’s social you could query to see if they’re in the system?
Seems like they’re trying to be helpful by telling you that you already have an account, but even if this turns out to be completely safe I still wouldn’t have provided that warning just in case. “Something happened please call us” seems wiser.
