It doesn't get any better either, just saw this. 1 million users of Facebook have just had their personal info sold to a guy in eastern Europe for $5

Neals just asked me to ask you all for everyones mother's maiden name, and their first pet. Security questions, just to confirm who you are.

I tried to give them to you, but the language bot kept censoring them.

It's a sad reality but so many people are predictable when it comes to adding details on the internet and as sure as God made little green apples, some will be exploited as a result.

I often think that the Internets Tubes should be for adults only. There is little control and all kinds of people are operating without any controls.

The Internet is kinda like the wild west.

Sad, but not surprising that these sort of things happen.

Parents gotta supervise the younglings.
