"Oops" of the day...

In case you forgot why protecting your "electronic identity" is important....don't let people take pictures of your credit cards:

"Within two minutes of AFP photographer Stanly Honda electronically publishing a photo of Katrina victim Latesha Vinette holding up her Red Cross debit card, Ms. Vinette was paged by the management of Reliant stadium to receive a call from Mastercard asking about cash advances totally $65,237, the attempted purchase of a Ferrari automobile using her card #, along with hundreds of purchases from eBay, including, ironically, camping gear."

And no, the card number isn't good anymore, trust me. :)
