You think Facebook would have gotten a clue after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Obviously not.

 

Do you think Zucky cares?
He'll be addressing Congress (again!) and nothing will happen to America's youngest Robber Baron.
How did he make his billions?

South Africa's cANCer that's been looting the government coffers since 1994 are amateurs compared to this guy.
At least we don't have to worry about the $h!t hitting the fan...
Sadly there aren't any light at the end of the tunnel...
Thanks to load-shedding.

 

Awesome, someone got through the FB defences to access the database in a big way?

Zuck spends millions on web site and application security......he has the best because he can.

But if your a big target, worth spending weeks/months of information gathering, planning and executing.....you will need it!

I love it

 

I could care less about Facebook.

And i could care even less about social media.Any more it's all about ratings and BS.

 

lol

 

Houston has a different problem: It's the "skimmer" capital of the US.

For those unfamiliar with the term, a "skimmer" is a card reader shaped exactly like and placed on top of a legitimate "insert card here" slot on an ATM or gas pump. It is often accompanied by a small camera to view and record PIN numbers entered on the keypad. The stolen information is usually recorded to embedded memory and, after a day or two of being up, the thief removes it, downloads the data, begins draining the victims' bank/credit card accounts and repeats the process by setting up the skimmer again on another ATM or pump.

Regardless of where you live, you should do the following whenever you use a card at an ATM, gas pump or other automated payment location.

1. Look at the device before inserting the card. Does it appear anything has been tampered with (broken security stickers, bent metal, etc.)? If so, DO NOT USE IT. Skimmers can also be placed inside gas pumps, vending machines, etc.
2. Tug firmly on the outside of the card slot before inserting the card. If a piece comes off or feels loose it's a skimmer. Notify a clerk on duty inside and call the local police immediately. Do not stay near unless you're sure you're safe. If the thief sees you, (s)he may try to get it back using violence.
3. Use one hand to cover the view of your other hand typing in your PIN or (on a gas pump) your ZIP code. This will likely block any unauthorized cameras from recording the data.
4. Check all banking and credit card statements in detail. Minimum once a month; online more often is even better (just be sure the PC, WiFi network and/or phone you're using to do so is secure and free of viruses/malware). Notify the bank immediately of any activity you can't account for.
   
5. If you want to use plastic, a credit card where you pay the bill only after a charge has posted (not a debit card that withdraws money directly from your bank account) is a far safer option. Although this may vary by country, US Federal Law states you are not liable for fraudulent charges over $50 to your account if you notify the card issuer within 30 days of receiving the bill; most major card issuers voluntarily reduce this to zero liability if notified in 30 days.

 

Another reason I use CASH only to pay for things. Much simpler.

 

If i do use a Debit card i would use some thing like Netspend. Basicly a throw away account and it's not connected to my checking account.For 4 dollars a load and no other fees hey bets using a credit card.And you can shop online with it.And not worry about some one stealing your info lol.Because it's a throw away account unless you put ton's of cash loads on there.

 

While I carry enough cash for emergencies, there are benefits of using a credit card you pay after you've made the charges:

• If you lose your wallet or are robbed, you're out only your emergency cash (+/- $20) - not hundreds or more.
• Thieves often scope you out in advance. If you pull out a wad of cash when buying something or make a large cash withdrawal at the bank you become a target.
  
• Fraud protection: All the cards I use offer zero dollar liability on fraudulent transactions. And finally...
• REWARDS! The card I use most gives me 3% back at grocery stores, 2% back on gas and 1% on everything else - plus occasional offers like 10% back (up to a max. of $20 per store) at Home Depot, Kohl's and many others with no annual fee.

I keep track of the bill and pay it off monthly. With the rewards, I easily rack up $300 or more in free money every year.

A side thought: Believe it or not, part of your credit score is based on your total credit limits against the amount you actually use (debt utilization). Having $50,000 "open to buy" with only $3000 in actual credit card debt usually gives you a higher score than $3000 owed on a single total credit line of $5000.

 

Look on the bright side: At least you don't have to explain this midwestern chain to friends.
