A lot of people (especially the older and very young generations) don't know how to manage data / private information. If you look at what is being shared on social media, and what kind of software is being downloaded from shady resources, i sometimes wonder why only a pretty small percentage of people is complaining about identity theft etc.
Quoted For Truth... have you watch "The Social Dilemma"? that is some scary shit...
What is really interesting to me, is that I regularly receive emails on my personal email address, clearly intended for other people who have the same (or similar name) to myself... from several different countries. I've got a cafe business in the Australia, a house in the Cayman's and a child in a christian preschool in America apparently. Completely unsolicited, I am being handed personal information of other people.
All these people are quite lucky I'm not the sort of person to do anything malicious with this info (although the property in the Cayman's looks nice from Google Maps )... indeed, I generally email back informing them they have the wrong contact details, but companies really need to start doing a much better job of not leaking personal private personal information!
