"Had not thought of the porn angle. That actually might be legit." actually might be? Tell that to the families that have their world turned inside out (like the link provided by another poster.) It took the FBI 2 YEARS to determine that an innocent family was indeed innocent.
Do you shop online? Every have to key in that 3 # code from the back of your card.
When I warn my friends of identity theft - they just say they don;t have much money so there isn't much to drain from their accounts. They don;t get that these days, criminals are taking over people's lives with their identities. Its not just hacking into a banking account or using a credit card.
They get your info and create whole new identities for themselves ...in your name. I read of one lady who had her identity hacked. The imposter went so far as to take the innocent person to court claiming that the innocent person was actually the imposter. She committed welfare fraud and all kinds of other crimes in this innocent woman's name.
Not gonna beat my head against the wall anymore trying to convince anyone that unsecured wifi is a bad idea..... go ahead and give criminals and law enforcement something to do.
