I have had one trivial notification that some personal information was compromised. I had one incident in which I initially thought I was an ID theft victim, because I was in trouble for not paying an account I did not have, but it turned out to be bank error, that still hurt my credit rating. I have ID theft insurance as a rider on my personal property insurance. I now think two waste baskets is best insurance against dumpster divers (tear up the bills, and put pieces into different garbage containers that do not get dumped at same time).
By a show of hands (or reply email), how many here have ever received a breach notification or otherwise been informed that their personal information was compromised? In a related question, how many here have been actual victims of identity theft?
