Hi All

Recently, I got alerted that someone tried to use my Internet account to get the top of the line Apple Iphone on a $60 plan from my internet provider.  Now i am going through all my accounts to update all pw.

I know we are a bunch of good people on here, yet please be careful with DOB details.  Some company do not take security seriously enough and only require Name, DOB and mobile number to give people access to accounts.

Please review all your online accounts and if sites do not need to have your DOB, either dont give them one or put a fake one in.

Wouldn't want someone to be in my shoe.

Thanks Thanh,

Yes it is certainly a bit of a worry! I see they have already stolen one of your feet!  :snigger:
