Default Identity Stolen Again

I think I told most of you how my social security card was stolen in a 2005
break in when I lived in Tucson Arizona. In addition, the computers were
attempted to access but fortunately mine had a BIOS password and stopped the
intruder. Well, this time I was working on Michelle Mora's image being
illegally put on a Painted Sky Elementary School computer and the next thing
I know my administrator passwords are changed and I am locked out of the two
computers I was working on. This fall a cable was missing from the sub
station area. I am now being blamed for computer sabotage. I know my work
identity has been stolen. Oh Well, I had planned on not giving data but you
may as well know who I am now because it does not matter:

Default Identity Stolen Again

Hi Dan,

Sorry that you had an ID theft problem. I had an incident that happened
to me. I have an idea of how you feel. I feel so violated by this incident.
I just hope that they did not steal the rest of my identity as they did
yours.

The fraud dept. from my Credit Card Co. notified me that someone had
tried to use my number to purchase over $399 and they caught it. They asked
if I or someone in my family had done the purchasing. I told them no. So
they did not let it go through. They cancelled my cards and are to send new
ones. I had to notify all the companies with whom I do business, and have
Auto Ship items that the card is now nonexistent, then call them back when I
get new cards. What a PAIN!! I am glad they caught it. I had to fight a
charge made to my card a few years ago because Wal-Mart had a signed receipt
by someone who forged a member of the family's name. It was not any of ours
signatures. It was for around $60. Anything over $100 is a felony. I hope
they catch the culprits involved in yours and mine.

Default Identity Stolen Again

Thanks for your support, Angel. I really think you have an awesome name. I
did work for the Department of Defense at Davis Monthan Air Force Base from
November 1998 to around June 2001. I had issues with my cell phone and the
base hooked me up with a secure line. I have done beta testing on Windows
Vista for Microsoft. I hope to eventually with the help of lots of other
experts have a secure tri-source code operating system for the United States
Government consisting of Windows source code, as well as Apple technology and
open source technology like Linux and the web browser Mozilla Firefox which
supports 256 bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) as compared to the more
limited 128 bit RC4 cipher strength of IE 6 and 7. It has been proven now
that 128 bit encryption RC4 can be broken but it is almost impossible to do
with current technology. AFAIK, 256 bit AES encryption has not been cracked
even by the best hackers out there. I enjoy doing volunteer work for the
Defense Network which includes the Department of Defense (Davis Monthan), the
Justice Department and the National Security Agency. I think I will be
a-okay in the long run. They keep a very close eye on me especially now with
my data as a systems administrator being compromised. My official business
at Painted Sky Elementary is just an educational assistant for 1st grade but
I started helping out with the computers since they had so many problems at
the school with them and we work as a team there as well. Have a nice
weekend! BTW, I do sometimes forgot stupid easy things and sometimes look
stupid but I know that there are people like Gary S. Terhune, MVP that will
lead me on the right path when I go wrong in regards to computers. I am his
student and he is my teacher. grin and Gary thought he did not have as much
impact as he really does have --- LOL
BTW, what is new with you in New York, PCR? I plan to visit the city in
December and January ---- straight to my hometown of Manhatten --- lived
there 18 years!

Why are you posting this?

I'd say that nobody stole your identity - you gave it away.

Sure, I did now since I know that my identity is protected in the God that I
believe in but let us stop here so we don't stray too far off topic into a
nasty theological debate that has no relevance here.

Dan,

When I posted what happened to me was to let you that you are not the
only one who had ID stolen. It has and will happen to many other people
because of technology and I am one of them. I was also telling you how it
made me feel and how others may feel about it. As long as people try to get
something without working for it, these things will happen. In a perfect
world these things would never happen. This is not a perfect world.
Evidently, we have to roll with the punches and keep on guard against this
type of activity.

Dan,
No, it is not necessary to continue this discussion. I have too much on
my plate and I do not need another downer. I have already had more downers
than I can take.
Have a great day!!
