...they don't even pay you for it. Those of you who display your stable in your signatures are at risk. I am not a hacker and I don't play one on TV. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
From CNN report today: "Hackers looking to break into your private accounts could use any piece of information you share in a viral challenge, the bureau said: Your favorite TV shows and the makes and models of all the cars you've owned are two examples." |

I live by the adage, if they want it, they will get it. I first learned this when my Scirocco got stolen from my high school parking lot, they stole it in less than a minute, I had both The Club and an alarm, and they still got it, with the football team watching.
Same with people mining for data on you online, unless you live in a hole, everything about you is readily available. Google yourself, you'll find your home address in seconds, and through Google, you can even see your house, maybe even your car. It's like when I see people cover up their plates on their car, I don't get it. So no I don't have cameras, nor do I try and hide online. Everything is quickly available to those that want it. |
