I took alot of my info off to protect myself to. You can go here to this website and get this and then go over to that web site and get this info and then go over there and dig deeper and get this info and pretty soon someone is draining your bank account. You can never be to carefull.

It takes a little more than web site info to hack some one's bank account, while age and name help it is a serious offense that most crooks find is not worth the risk.  Most Facebook user's post age so what's the big deal...  I realize your concern yet if you have a home phone, your name and address are posted, age is not too hard to find out.  Maden mothers name, personal bank info, passwords to web sites or e-mail and Social Security # are things you never reply to in a e-mail or by phone.  I recommend having up to date Virus, firewall, spam and spyware protection if you do any online banking.  Always make sure your computer is clean before logging onto a banks web site!!! Always inform your bank and credit cards of any foul play or suspected unauthorized use of any acounts.  Buy credit protection if you suspect you are a victim or want to be protected it's realatively cheap.

Posting the location of a known firearm owner is usually deterant enough, this is not exactly a kiddy forum and we are adults even though we don't always act like it.  Many of us have stong connections with the law and anti hacking enforcment.  I find most personalities are strong willed and would prosecute a bank hacker to the fullest...  I am 42 my name is Jeff Calderone, I live in Huntington Station NY and I took a nice buck back in 2000 that sent my hunting passion to obsession, I love stalking monarchs of the woods...  And posting on HuntingNY.com.     

Hack some one's bank account in NY and you get to meet my good friends the NYS  Police or a Federal agent, hack mine and you will see it was not worth it, lol.  Next day my bank account went from 200 to 2 and I was like DAM!  LOL  Want to prove your a good hacker fill my bank account, that would impress me, yet it will still land you in jail...  If someone thinks they are that good at hacking get a job at a security company, they pay well and it's better than jail time...   Computer Tech 10 + years, when was the last time you updated, scanned AND backed up your data?  Is your data worth a 100$ back up drive or 2.  (pictures anyone?)  Are you protected if you bank online, or if your house is hit by lightning and every connected device fails?

Well said NFA-ADK!  We live in world today where it's the rare situation where individuals get involved and take care of business.  I do not wish to be pressured into hiding anything just because of the criminal element that seems to be slowly growing in many of our areas.  I live in a very small community where just about everyone knows everyone who lives here.  Work is done with a handshake, not contracts.  You make a mess and lie and fool people, you might as well move away.  So I do have a hard time why some people do not list some personal information on this web site that gives readers another "vision" of the writer.  Almost seems as if they are trying to hide - (here come the flames)     Granted the info you mentioned SHOULD NOT be posted as it does not pertain to this type of site.  But surely, any advice or recommendation can be weighed by the age of the poster.  Suggestions and advice from a 12 year old is not the same from someone that has 50 years of hunting experience.
