Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board / Re: Farm Journal - 2026
« Last post by sKePTiKal on Today at 09:36:04 AM »There has been enough "seepage" - not a complete breach - to scare all the silage out of me. I lit up my contact at the bank, while it was all "ongoing" over the phone. Usually I just hang up on those fools... but I let him talk enough, to find out he HAD access to my username for the bank's web access (no, I refuse to use apps just for this exact reason).
So, I've already put additional security in place; it was rather urgent. I'm continuing to closely monitor.
There are few more things I'm still considering I will maybe do... but it does make life more complicated.
The main issue emotionally, is that one ASSUMES all these businesses, institutions at least make the attempt to protect people's online ID, personal info. And it's a huge wake up call to me, that I can't trust them. The betrayal feels like I'm on fire. And it's just salt in the wound, to get the "I told ya so" from Hol. She bought C's mantra about how bad all this tech is, hook line & sinker. But she doesn't see that he is part of the problem - developing software with AI agents.
There are much more interesting things, to me, to spend my time/thought processes on than tech. And the old resentment of it "ruling my life" pops up again too. Add that on top of the business and normal life drama... and that kind of overwhelm sends me into tailspins of wanting to escape ALL this crap.
But it is starting to balance out. A little.
