I don't understand how this happens. Personal info from a big company's unsecured database, yes. Home computer, no.

I've looked into Linux. Tried using it exclusively for a bit. I really like the idea of it. It's fine for web browsing and office programs. Photo/audio/video editing...not so much 

Yeah. It's getting worse as time goes on. So many companies getting hacked lately... Sony, Target, Anthem, etc. I've had to have my debit card reissued 3 different times now. It's crazy.

Sometimes it's the companies who do the hacking, like Home Depot for instance.

Who can you trust?

That was an inside job? I didn't hear about that. Anyway that's still their unsecured equipment--nothing to do with my own computer.

I don't know. I've always been distrustful.

I dunno, a former member of RJ tried to get people to "hack" me.  She tried to use her connections with a big named facebook page to get Anonymous to hack my account and put all my info online.  We used to talk almost 24/7 on Skype, but then she started lying more than usual and became increasingly paranoid.  She had asked me to have Saruman delete her post history from RJ, which he did.

That's... peculiar. Sounds like she was a bit on the psycho side.

Was that the whole DBZ page thing? 

Um... she likes attention.

Yes, it was the DBZ page stuff.

@Ajimbo:

That's quite a scary experience.

Ha, I don't remember that at all. Boy, time flies. There were too many crazies on RJ to keep track of.
