There really are people in this world with may to much time on their hands.

Any idea on which credit bureau they would be using.  I would need to un-freeze that one.  No need to do all three.

For the regulars here on AI and the drive by visitors, do you back up and what is your method?

Yes, every hour on the half hour between 7:30 am and 10:30 pm.  I use three NAS Raid 5 box's.  One holds all my data, the other two I use to schedule RSYNC backups each hour.  Plus I keep a copy of all my  images, and created video's on Backblaze, just in case.  I really don't keep much of anything on the computer HD. I use the 10gig ethernet connection from the iMac Pro to the Switch/NAS units.  Everything can be restored using drag drop, no need for a third party backup program to restore.

I'm not sure the Amazon 5% cash back is that great.  Yes you can cherry pick items that are less at amazon, but most items can be found at least 5% cheaper elsewhere /w free shipping.  No prime needed at $119 per year.  Many smaller to intermediate  businesses don't charge TN sales tax as they don't do enough $$$ sales to trigger the requirement.  For me anyway I don't see any upside the the Amazon Card. As far as the interest rates go I haven't paid a CC company interest for at least two +  decades.

I don't have a FB account, but I guess that doesn't matter.  Also I don't use any of the listed apps.  I'm sure there are many others apps doing the same, and I may have some of those installed.  I did use this as a wakeup call.  I deleted all but the  most used apps on my IOS devices.  Ones that I may use occasionally I will just download and use while I need them.  The entire cultural attitude of FB is "its easier to get forgiveness than permission".  They will just keep pushing the envelope until something (hopefully some privacy laws) contains their activity.
