The VINs are found on the engine of every car, yet that's not the main issue. Today it's much harder to commit fraud, but I prefer to keep my information private if possible.
Alright, they’re located on the engine, typically also marked on the radiator sticker and the dashboard. That’s exactly what we’re talking about. As we go over whether to share the S/N of a car with people, here’s the deal: To the person asking: I completely understand your point, but I’d like to remove any pressure from sharing a laptop’s serial number with an IT team you work for. By the way, you shared your banking info (for direct deposit), Social Security number (for taxes), plus your license plate and VIN for parking permits at the office. For a laptop? Not really worth it.
I agree and believe the company wouldn't act maliciously with sn. It would cause more harm to the business than to the individual. I'm not trying to debate, just stating it's best practice to share sn only when necessary—like with car or PC repairers.
connecting your machine to a network that collects hardware and software details—such as configuration tools, operations management systems, and the serial number identifies your device—allows them to recognize your domain account and the user you’re logged in as. they can also see your MAC address, SSID, etc. It’s simpler to look up the serial number than to search for the Wi-Fi name or MAC address.
