Yes, its actually quite interesting the amount of info you can "garnish" on
someone. All the things we think are "hidden" can sometimes just be found by
some interesting searched.
A surprised a friend of mine with the amount of info I could show them
simply from having their email address and their first name. I could piece
together a lot of info (and a lot more thanks to their facebook page in
though they thought a lot of it was "hidden".)
If only one places "keeps a little info" and they all do it,..it does make
you wonder what sort of profiles can be pieced together. And what happens if
someone with a bad intent can do with the same information if they can lay
their hands on it (and some of it is freely available).
Have a good Easter and break (and ANZAC) day all also.
Thanks Stuart,..oh and Rove called,..he wants the royalties from his
line,... ("Say to your Mum for me"). Lol,.great...all I need a two day break
getting hassled to move again,..lol. :o)) Let me just work out my "incentive
to move package" :o) How much is a lear jet? :o)
Freo? Pies? What are these things you speak about?? Is it a pie shop in
freo? You tip pies? Well, I suppose you do tip them a little when you eat
them...but I'm getting offtopic here so I won't carry on.... :)
Enjoy all!
Kind regards
Daniel
