why dont we as a society come to terms with and accept that passwords and account information being secure and private is not legit possibility. Then we can start thinking about a system thst actually works. i mean if all ur credit reporting agencies are hacked, and everyones info is on the dark web... we are essentially coming very close to the last scene in fight club, were we blow up the credit card companies and wipe everyones debt, because how can anybodies credit be creditable at this point.

I think anyone whom assumes, in this age, that our information is 100% secure at all times, has been living under a rock for a very long time. I have multi-emails, and none of my passwords are the same for anything. Most of my passwords are at least 4 randoms words, that have symbols, numbers, and random capitalization. And I still know that things aren't secure, even with all the security I provide for myself.

I'm sure that my information isn't 100% safe. Online or anywhere else.

A few years back a local hospital announced that their patient database had been hacked and that large number accounts had been compromised. I was one of the compromised accounts. I felt exposed. It wasn't a terribly horrifying ordeal for me, but I realized then, that nothing is safe in the modern age.

They offered free consulting and identity protection, which made everything easier to take.

yes u can get free service if u sign over ur right to ever sue them for it.

Money isn't real these days anyway.

The artificial "financial" system that's been created will never let you win anyway.

All my passwords are the same lol the day it all collapses is the day the playing field is finally even- bring it on I say

That's why I don't use credit cards. If I need money on a card I go to Walmart and pay China 3 $ every time I need it.

Sure to some people it seems dumb. Why not just use a bank? That way they can give you free checking, but if you don't make 6 transactions per month they secretly charge you and overdraft your account so they make 60 $ off of you.

Imo if I can't pay for it in pure cash I don't need it.
