Depends who you work for. If you work for a city, state, or other governmental entity your salary is probably public record and can be looked up online quite easily.
I know this is going to be movie. I can't decide if it will be drama, mystery, action, or comedy. At this point, I'm expecting someone to go on a shooting spree or commit a murder-suicide.
Seriously, Hollywood screenwriters couldn't have come up with a plot this complicated. My favorite part is often overlooked. Earlier this year, they lobbied to remove what few rights we have in case of breaches/losses of PII. As in, they lobbied to not be held accountable or have to give notice in case they were breached. I think that was back in May of this year. There has been so much new information, I can no longer keep track.
If this were a movie, it would suck - because it's too far-fetched and unbelievable. If someone were telling me this story, and I didn't know better, I'd assume they were lying. It has almost reached the point where it is comedic.
Just wait for Fannie Mae's "day one certainty" initiative( starts later this year) services like Formfree's accountchek (you to provide them with your login info for all of your asset accounts so they can verify it for your lender) will be required in order to get a mortgage or refinance.
<sarcasm>What could possibly go wrong with this service.</sarcasm>
