Identity Theft is Real
A TV host in Britain has apparently become the victim of identity theft after publishing his own information in a newspaper column. He wanted to prove that despite having all of his personal information published that there was nothing a thief or scammer could do other than make a deposit to his account. He was wrong.

And no matter how many times I write something like this or express my security viewpoints it feels like I’m yelling into the wind with my family members. Remember, just cause I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get me.
I am amazed by this. Well, not really. At least he now understands.
And I like his punishment for this…
