YAHOO Insecurity.....
If, like me, you have a YAHOO account your personal information is not only at risk, it has most likely already been stolen.
Just today I received an email from one of the three Hags from Hell politicians in San Francisco and to my great surprise it had my entire real name attached to it.
Now, why is this surprising?
Well, first of all...when I created that account I didn't use my real name...at all. Like many people that write, have a blog, or do any kind of political research when you get that extra email address you don' t want your actual name on it.
Names lead to phone numbers which lead to addresses and in this day and age of nutty MoonBat behavior...well, it would just be plain stupid to help someone make your life miserable.
But now it seems YAHOO has done all the work for the bad guys...... what a surprise.
No, seriously I am shocked, not surprised. Some employee or higher up stole my personal information to sell or give to a politician so the politician could spam me.....with YAHOO's blessings.
I know what lengths these people had to go to to get my entire real name...so trust me, this wasn't some easy random moment kind of thing.....
Heck, all the jerks that try to hack into my blog hundreds of times a day know what kind of security I use....they could tell you.
ME-100,000 THEM -0
And yes, it is just YAHOO...hardly what I would consider a secure source for anything, except according to them they are a secure source...and in order for them to connect my name to this account they had to violate state and federal laws.
Does that even count anymore?
YAHOO'S privacy policy....please tell me where it says that they can dig through several layers of personal security and do a lot of research to get your name and then sell it/ give it to anyone?
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITYAnd so it begins...we are all truly Joe the Plumber now...............We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to protect personal information about you.
