I will never understand why people join Facebook or why they don’t ditch Facebook. You should never post that much about yourself online. “Oh no, I have private pages” is the usual response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I’ve posted about security breaches before<\/a>. They happen all of the time. Unless they impact tens of millions of people they don’t even make the news anymore. Most of you probably don’t even remember when I wrote about the TJ MAXX breach<\/a>? That seems so quaint these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s just see if the court system lets Facebook get away with “a year of identity theft monitoring” or if the Justice Department finally gets some teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
