California residents can request their data to be deleted here: https://www.samsung.com/us/privacy/ccpa/ I was surprised I even had a Samsung account so I can't think of any reason to keep one after this.

> That's all you need to steal someone's identity I wish we could stop propagating the idea that it's possible to "steal someone's identity". No, you cannot take my identity from me, I am who I am, you are who you are. What you can do however, with those details, is tricking companies and committing fraud. But it should not be up to me to make sure companies are not being defrauded, the burden is on them to prevent t…
This is very close to "stealing" your identity — in that you yourself don't have the ability to use your identity any more in any useful way, because your identity is now (legally) dead.
Then again, they don't possess it after that point, either. So maybe it's more like "identity destruction" or "identity defacement."

Semantics. Nobody thinks your password being stolen means someone actually takes it from you or your device getting hacked means someone inflicted a physical blow with a sharp object. Someone illegitimately uses your personal information to claim your identity in recipt of goods and services. They stole your identification information to impersonate you.

>Now? Fuck em. If you use my email, it's my account. I just deleted "my" Roku account and unsubscribed to the services attached to it (required to delete an account). >Me deleting "your" account is the least-abusive thing I could do if you sign up with my email address. This is illegal, CFAA of 1996. Them signing up with your email is a mistake, you deliberately modifying data that isn't your own because of that is i…
It wouldn’t also fall under CFAA to fraudulently sign up with the wrong email?
Same if you were confused by "your" Roku account, so you decide to remove it.

I don't spend much of my time worrying about this, but if you do: Put credit freezes on yourself and maintain them that way as the default. This cuts your attack surface significantly. Plant your flag with any large government entities that are used for collecting benefits (IRS, your state's stuff, etc.) Do I love the state of affairs? No, but if it were something I worried about, I'd at least make myself a hard targ…

'Nationwide', 'Check and Bank' and 'Supplimentary/Alternative' are probably the minimum.
I wish we had privacy and security by default instead of "opt in"
>At Samsung, security is a top priority. Every company, always.
> At Firefighters, firefighting is our top priority. We recently discovered that our base of operations caught fire and, as the fire hydrants and fire extinguishers did not work, it was incinerated. An absurd, insane message.
We know your stuff not catching on fire is important to you. That’s why we gather it up into large fpiles, then do the minimal we’re legally required to technically avoid committing arson. For more information on how we and our trusted partners douse our pile of your stuff with gasoline while using our warehouses to hotbox cigars, weed and crack, see our 1000 page “not stealing and then getting high and catching your stuff on fire policy”.
