That porn name game...
Discussion
Had an interesting chat with a guy today about security, and apart from the scary gaping holes in corporate companies computer systems (open wireless connection anyone!) he mentioned that porn name game.
You know, mothers maiden name, first pet? "Molly Ginger"
He said that fraudsters use this to get info from people, then later ring them up "Hello, we just need to ask a security question Mr Smith. Now your mothers maiden name is "West", is that correct?
"Duh, yaaa"
"Ok, can you tell me your birth date and address please" etc etc
So, dont play it. With anyone!
Unless they have two big jubblies
