  • Online Companies Suck At Protecting Your Info

    Holy f#ck. Was just looking into how many times my info has been stolen online from some company I trusted to protect my info & its more than I'd have thought. I guess most of us know this is a risk & is happening as we speak, but I was surprised to see it drawn out so clearly over the years.

    For the specifics its looks like my info has been stolen 22 times from May 2010 til Sept. 2018. Twitter, MySpace (from back in the day), DailyMotion, Tumblr, a Poker site, two cryptocurrency sites, among several others being the parties at fault.

    I've been noticing a lot of weird sh^t with some accounts I don't use any longer as of late so decided to do some digging.

    Change your passwords on a regular basis even if you are using a password manager my brothers & sissies. Protect yourself.

    You can check at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ if you aren't aware & it'll tell you exactly what info has potentially been stolen & from where.

    Here's an example of what info they'll tell you.
    Neteller: In May 2010, the e-wallet service known as Neteller suffered a data breach which exposed over 3.6M customers. The breach was not discovered until October 2015 and included names, email addresses, home addresses and account balances.

    The online companies will get the blame for lax security. And Chinese hackers or whatever.

    But I suspect the funding for all this criminal activity comes from the Deep State. Sowing their chaos as always.

            I got my shieeet phoned twice, on a site I never use anymore, hotmail.com

            Back in the day, I did some part time work for a company related to Charles Schawb, they had big data, before the term became common parlance.

            It’s rough out there.
