Oh btodd, be so careful with that. At my last forum, the olde ioplist.com, the rat bastard admin, Evil Tester, began to read everyone's PMs and emails.
I don't know, but he must have had access to people's passwords. And, he assumed that people would use the same password at several forums.
So, as he became more paranoid on Vogue's drugs, Evil tester would go to other forums. Log in with the user name that was used at ioplist.com. And the same password. At other forums. He told me he was doing this.
he actually banned people for their posts at other forums.
I warned ET that I could not be a party to that sort of fol de rol. That when I tell everyone he reads PMs, emails of members, and further, uses their passwords to hack into other forums, that he would be ruined. That is disgusting. it was not long before he banned me and 50-100 senior members.
Which is how and why we started this third IOPLISt.org.
Let me just assure u all that I don't have access to your passwords. And, I am not the type to breach confidences of people.
When I did have monies, I put fraud alerts on all my ccs. That also meant that no way could they send me cc offers via the mail. Your parents can do this now. Fraud alert.
There is a service called Lifelock that allegedly protects your identity for just such a situation as this. However, I remember that to prove their point that no one could hack them, Lifelock used to put their real social security number as advertising on the side of their truck. On their commercials. And, guess what? They got hacked. So, if ur parents are concerned, they can check out Lifelock. I imagine the firm learned quite a lot from being hacked themselves.
It is disgusting how easy it is to hack another. I blame a great deal on microsoft, whom, allows one to gain remote access to another computer just by knowing their email address. Bill Gates and his Access Anywhere nonsense is responsible for so much of this. Most of the people are not accessing their own home networks. They are accessing ours.
Good luck. To call the three credit bureaus, and put a Fraud alert on ur parents accounts is free. It used to last for seven years. And, again, no credit card offers can therefore come thru the mail.
Be careful out there. I hate to say it, but assume the worst is possible. Oh, and doctors offices were infamous for putting medical records, with social security numbers on them, in waste bins that anyone could dig into.
Lastly, I read that sites such as ancestory.com are heaven for hackers. Cuz people put up the info a hacker needs. Social Security numbers, dates of birth, Mother's maiden name et al.
Good luck.
