[extropy-chat] The Business of Protecting Your Own Finances

[Natasha Vita-More]

Good morning -

I have been travelling recently and just returned to Austin and I found out 
that a someone had gotten into my  online banking account and had written 
and authorized a payment check to be sent to an address in New Jersey.  The 
amount was not trifling.  Online banking is insured at my bank so after the 
last few days of stress, things have resumed to normal.  We still do not 
know what happened, but it was probably a keystroke watch that got onto my 
computer and followed my moves.

I am sharing this information with you because online banking fraud is 
getting to be one degree of separation and I want you to please be careful 
and protect yourselves.

Best wishes,

Natasha

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
