I had my identity stolen twice back in 1999 when I was using Windows. I got rid of Windows, and I've used Fedora exclusively since then. All my passwords are throw-away with no connection to any personal information at all. I make it a point not to give out my SSN, address, birthday, phone number, etc., over the internet or over cordless phones or cell phones. If they really want my nodes here that bad, then I give them to them. Take my nodes, please!:-)
