Things like this can happen, and they do, all the time, to all kinds of people. (Yes, the above example happened to me.) If you're so contentious that you never miss an appointment, always get your car checked at precise intervals, always have the money to get the things you need when you're told you need them... that's great. But for the record, you happen to be in the minority!

Well, I have to admit that it's not me, it's my husband. We get out car serviced regularly and oil changed as well. We budget for emergecies as well as regular car maintenance.

Yep, a large company that target, best buy, and other large companies use was hacked recently - I'm not sure how much of my information was hacked but they are
so very sure that it was only my name and email address. Until something comes out to force them to admit it was more than that.
The security of these types of systems is exactly the issue. Its a privacy issue - how dare they decide to stick tracking devices all over every product that I buy - so they can track me - and then (adding insult to injury) not have any true way to protect this very private information?
