Fucked up shit.......

Ok... I was doing a search the other day and I came upon a geocities page that was a list of different peoples personal data...

Credit card numbers, addresses, ss#'s, phone numbers...The whole bit...

I looked around a bit and discovered 2 more files in the same directory with smilar information....

I thought about for a little bit, then took the time to email anybody who's email address was in there letting them know that their information was sitting there....

Then I went and found yahoo's phone number and called them... Did 2 long distance calls on my dime... Ended up in one of those automated phone mazes that finally gave me an email address to report it to...

So I wrote them a note... Gave them the site URL... Listed some of the contents so they could see for themselves..... The whole bit....

I got an automated reply saying they had recieved it and that someone would look at my email within 24 hours...standard bullshit....

Anyway, just went and checked and the pages are still fucking there....

assholes....

Everyone complains about identity theft, etc.... and you try to help out and you get no fucking quick action because they all have their shit way too fucking automated.....

At least I got a couple of emails back from folks who's info was there thanking me for letting them know, so at least a couple are covered....

Funny thing would be that if for some reason Ashcroft and company would check my computer and find those files, I would probably have my ass cooked.....

:grrr:
