How many of you, through friendster/livejournal/myspace/etc. Fill out those quizzes/memes where you generate your “superhero name” by combining the street you grew up on and your nickname?
Ever think about what kind of information you are putting out there? Ever think about how the “security questions” on various websites (cell phone, home phone, cable, isp, bank, etc.) use the same info?
Look at this “meme”, and think to yourself what you have put out there:
1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet and current street name)
2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandfather/grandmother on your dad’s side, your favorite candy)
3. YOUR “FLY GIRL/GUY” NAME: (first initial of first name, first two or three letters of your last name:
4. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite animal, favorite color)
5. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)
6. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (first 3 letters of your last name, last 3 letters of mother’s maiden name, first 3 letters of your pet’s name)
7. JEDI NAME: (middle name spelled backwards, your mom’s maiden name spelled backwards)
8. PORN STAR NAME: (middle name, street you grew up on)
9. SUPERHERO NAME: (“The”, your favorite color, the automobile you drive)
Just think before you give out all your info. Identity theft is a bitch.
