Sarettah, I have been down this road. Yes, here comes his name again! Mitnick was pissed off that I was talking about him in a Yahoo chat group, so he had someone post every personal bit of information he had on me plus a bunch of made up crap.
I contacted Yahoo by email. They never answered me. I wrote to about ten different people in different departments. No response! I finally reached someone by phone. I answered all kinds of questions. The guy told me it was against their policy for SS#'s and CC#'s to be listed on their sites, but they don't bother to monitor anything unless someone complains. They are violating California laws and they are setting people up for identity fraud. The same thing was posted on Dream Books. Nobody contacted me when I complained. Sometimes I believe all these Yahoo and Dream Books boards should be permanently closed down.
It's a jungle out there! Now we have the government checking us out in detail, and before long we will have a National ID card.
By the way, eventually someone tried to hack into my accounts. They charged a few things on the internet with my credit card. When I called my bank and told them my privacy had been jeopardized, my bank gave me a government number and told me to change my SS#. Now, who in the hell wants to do that? I have had this number my entire life, and because some jackasses on the internet have a hardon for me, I'm supposed to turn my life upside down and get a new SS#!!! What's to stop the same people from getting the new one.
And you wonder why I am such a bitch, Trev. Life makes all of us bitchy.
