Privacy is soooo 1990’s — we’re soooo f*cked

I dumpster dived my own garbage can. I didn’t have the guts
to pick through my neighbor’s garbage, but I wanted to see if there were
treasures in there.  What I found were
plenty of banking and financial docs properly shredded, along with utility
statements and insurance papers that weren’t.  Combined with my name and address (posted on
my mailbox, of course) this data would make easy work for a social engineering identity
thief.

Ignorance is bliss

There is a new Identity Theft prevention service.  Extending far beyond PrivacyGuard and using
the amazing intelligence collection capabilities of Cyveillance.  Identity Truth.com is still in beta but boasts
an “early warning system” whenever your personal information is “out there” and
about to wreak havoc with your credit.  It
looks cool and at 10 bucks a month beats the hell out of the more expensive and
less thorough PrivacyGuard.  The system
is only accepting a limited number of new subscribers during this beta stage,
and twice I’ve noticed the site was down.

I’ll sign up as soon as the site comes back online and will
write a review in a week or so. If any of you do the same, let me know your impressions.
