Phone number, email, everything needed to authenticate your account. Over 500 billion users. Everyone now has that, along with birthday, school, and any other personal info you provided.

MoseySusan Posted April 4, 2021 Share #4 Posted April 4, 2021 I closed out of FB a few years ago. What are the chances they purged all of my data after I left and didn’t come back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted April 4, 2021 Share #7 Posted April 4, 2021 With all the hacking and ID theft we're going to back to face to face cash only transactions. Maybe even barter only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted April 4, 2021 Share #8 Posted April 4, 2021 So I was fortunate that I removed most personal info beforehand and just removed that bloated software from my phone. I also changed my password to some 6000 year encryptic shit. Also have account monitoring services I paid for. Fuck 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone now has that, along with birthday, school, and any other personal info you provided. I don't list a phone number or any financial data on Facebook. Anyone could get birthday, schools, etc. from my page or by browsing through this and other sites. What bugs me is the extensive information other businesses have about me now. When Computershare, then owned by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, messed up my mailing address for an account, when I phoned to straighten it out, I was asked three questions to make sure it was really me. One was: which addresses did a certain person ever live at? The person was my brother and I had never given Computershare his name. Another was which of the following cars did I NOT ever own. Information like that gives the owner of it an advantage on me, but I'm not provided with information I'd like to know about that company so it has an advantage in any negotiations.

Your address, your brother’s address, your birth records and your vehicle registration are all in public records. How do you think that extended car warranty company knows what make/model, year car you have and where you park it at night? Second question, why do you think public records are called public? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 4, 2021 Share #16 Posted April 4, 2021 I used to use the book of faces for free communications across the globe. Now that all the family members live here I just keep it for my RC drag racing groups and the manufacturers pages. Technology and social media seems to have changed as the manufacturers are more likely to have up to date facebook pages than home pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't your posts that are available, it is all your personal identifying information that anyone would need to easily and convincingly falsify or take over your identity, not just in facebook, but in the real world. All someone needs to erase you and take over is your social security number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit facebook a while ago. Never was on Twitter. For any site like that, I enter the minimum information necessary. Except for any sites that are 'official/government', if they require a birth date it just happens to be April 1. When an email comes sailing in with the salutation 'Hey Mortimer!' then I know it's spam because 'Mortimer' is my middle name. Thaddeus Mortimer Kosciuszko. Yeah, that's my name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
