Corruption is everywhere in every country and there are a lot of smart folks working very hard to take what isn't theirs. Undermining systems that are security locked is telling a crook he can't open the safe.

They now have scanners that can read our credit card numbers just by us walking by.
There are no perfect systems (but many will tell you there are). We were all given a number at birth and more numbers during our life. Military ID Nos., Bank, credit cards, drivers lic., social security and etc. But without them we don't exist.

It was just a matter of time before the smart ones figured out how to steal our personal wealth and put it into their pockets. Security issues are always being snafu'd.

Our Uncle Sam can access anything they want to know about us in a few clicks of the button. Bad guys do the same thing. There are many games a foot as Sherlock used to say. ID theft is common - it even happen to me. It took forever to rebuild my credit references - but many other's have also been there.
