Slightly related, my uni id was a prefix for the campus + year
of admission + serial number
the serial number was sequential based on last name, you could essentially guess anyones student id if you had a couple of data points of last name : serial number
As far as I know no one used it for nefarious purposes, but it was a cool party trick to guess someone’s number.
