Re: I.D.Thieft
Nope! I don’t have a shredder. But I have bank statements, utility bills and the like that go back some 40 years. All my other paper rubbish is bagged and once in a while, when the sack is full I do a small detour to our local Refuse Disposal Centre during a normal foray into the outside world and dump the contents into the waste paper skip. If a crook wants to wade through that pile, which in all probability will be wet and soggy, then go for it crook. I hope you catch something nasty. Tetanus would be a good possibility.
A very interesting programme but what really caught my attention is the ease that a wi fi computer can be snooped on. It’s bad enough every crook and his dog trying to infiltrate my computer but at least I can block most if not all attempts. I take stringent precautions with my passwords, by not using real words and certainly only using one password once. All my passwords are made up of random alpha-numeric characters of at least 10 characters in length and for the really important ones like bank, E-Gold etc never less than 15 characters and more usually 20. A 20 random alpha-numeric character password would have approximately 20,089,617,866,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different combinations.
