I want to post about a subject which has nothing to do with the stock market. But after seeing this article.
Half of American adults personal info, hacked this year!

I thought I should post about something I did years ago! Worrying about identity theft, I didn't buy anything on the internet for years. But passing up the convenience made me give in.

What I did was create a separate financial identity for use on the internet. Bank account, credit card, google voice phone number. And kept the bank account cash small, credit limits low and I screen google phone calls at their website, not my phone. Basically all info about me at the internet says I'm a low income poor person. So I keep my target profile small. Hacker won't go after someone with $500 cash, $500 credit limit, was the thought.



Food for thought.
