Comment Sensitive information (Score 4, Insightful) 76

Chase is really spinning this by saying that no sensitive information was taken in the hack.

Well, it seems that the crackers now have tens of millions of *confirmed* Names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails at the very least. That is a freakin treasure trove of information.

I like my privacy and take great care not to let information out into the world. But Doctors, banks, and gov always want every bit of info on you so they make the best targets.

This arguement isn't about the width of your ass, is about the length of your thigh. As a 6'2" person, I have trouble like this all over the place with my knees butting up again whatever is in front of me (concert venues, my car's steering wheel). If my knees are already touching the seat and the jackhoel decides to recline, that's gonna hurt and I'm gonna be pissed.

Comment New Normal (Score 1) 62

I've now come to realize that it is the norm to cancel and request new credit cards/debit cards every 3 quarter just in case my card number has been compromised by one of these hacks.

Maybe if the whole country did the same, banks would finally switch to a more secure card.

That's why you should create a revocation certificate when you create the keypair. If you upload the revocation cert to the DB, the keys get removed.

But yes... my first keypair that I created something like 17 years ago when I was first learning about gpg are still in the DBs and come up when my name is searched. It gives me a chuckle.
