[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 5140652, member: 77814"]Many back end service companies have been getting hacked. So if you work or go to Company A, the company they use for insurance processing, this or that company is getting hacked. My company was hacked before not directly to our systems, but to one of our service providers that had people's PHI information that they needed for services. webbrowsing is interesting. This includes facebook and any other website. They use "targeted ads" that people usually unknowning "accept" in normal usage for websites. Google when their email was "beta" clearly stated that they used email content to target advertising. Many apps that you download ads, you also accept targeted advertising. There are public events that you can go to where the organizer will geo track your phone location and travels, and target ads to your phone id .. even target everything you do on a phone if you download their app. One has to simply not accept every "yes" for everything and read the content in relation to apps, accepting cookies to a website, etc etc etc. I get ads but most of mine are non-targeted. So I just get a jumbled mess of ads that have no relation to anything I do. If I so happen to like an ad I will go directly to that website on another window and *not* click on an ad. Auto acceptance of tracking by clicking on ads seems to be the norm.[/QUOTE]
