username security

[nader]

Just wanted to pass on some tips.

1 select a user name that does not tell too much info about you.
what not to use would be: 2006MustanginATL, gxxer, 71cuda, bostonBigdog, Bob_Jones1965, yourname, yourcar.

2 only use that user name for this website or other training websites. Do not use the same user name for a car, bike, gun, job search, yahoo, etc web sites. You might give out personal information that people can use to search you down.


remember that once you post something on the Net its out there. a simple and quick google search will show you things that you might not remember posting nor would want people to find out about.

BE safe.

Re: username security

but within 5 seconds I know that you probably live in the rockies and work in the medical field. Have a 4 year degree. and a good guess is a white male. all that within 5 seconds. scary aint it.

"anything you say could be used againt you" you have the right not to let out as much information about yourself. etc etc.

a fellow co-worker could get upset that you got a promotion - they could then just spend a few hours on the net then send what they find to the boss. which is why I posted these tips.
Be safe don't be sorry.
