DH sent me this article, to remind me how easy it is to let just a tad too much personal information out into the public. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=anatomy-of-a-social-hack

The article outlines just how easy it was for the writer to 'break into' a person's bank accounts with a few simple google searches....

Use caution when posting personal info on your blogs and myspace, etc! How devestating would it be to have to recover from ID theft! I hope none of my farmgirl friends has had to deal with it, but with it becoming so common I am sure, sadly, there are those who have.
