I was so nearly phished the other day.

I got a "please reconfirm your ebay details over a purchase we believe was fraudulent"

I went and checked , first thing in the am , looked totally real was about to start filling it out when I notived the url was a number.

And I am a webmaster...I SHOULD no better.

But that's beside the point of this article.

Even you have never BEEN online, let alone bought anything, you could still have had all your information sold, stolen, improperly used, improperly disposed of...

No matter how careful you are, if the people you do business with arent, and legislation still allows them to have your info, you're proper fucked.
