I recently turned 18, so my parents signed me up for driving school. When I showed up at the academy, I was surprised by the cars they had available for students to learn on. They told me to pick whichever I liked best, and I chose the Mercedes-Benz G500.
Nice way to get the answer to an often used security question!
I always thought these “ask” communities were a great vector to extract PII.
all you’d need to do is link users to leaked identities and probably get access to accounts quickly.
this is why I make up the wrong answers to any of those questions.
I just had to recover my PSN account from a decade ago and I did this with my mother’s maiden name apparently
luckily I managed to remember the false birth date I had also used
I have never seen this as a security question. I mean it sounds like one but have never seen it in the wild.
Why are americans still using security questions ? And why does every post get a comment like this one ? If you don’t like these, quit this community.
