This is just a article i googled, this is 2 years old and this is just for those that think internet privacy/security is overrated.

Recent identity theft statistics released by the FBI claims that 9.91 million Americans were identity theft victims and have experienced losses totaling $52.6 billion.

More than half of identity theft victims had their current credit cards taken over by identity theft criminals. While new account frauds were estimated to have victimized 3.23 million people and see more to have caused losses of $36.7 billion.

Identity theft, and syber crimes are passing up alot of conventional crimes these days. With the criminal now being a 17 - 34 year old male doing it from behind a desk, instead of a long trench coat robbing a convenient store. Not to mention pedofiles, rapists, murderers, that are told they cannot even use a computer however what is to stop them from getting your personal information once they see your name online? Dont be naive and think just because nothing has happened to you online, that it never will. Or that it may not happen to your children or wife.
