A security researcher told me my passwords and more: How 15 years of digital footprints left me exposed

My own research worked, and I was able to identify and mitigate their use by attackers. People try to start sharing passwords and passwords from insecure places in mobile apps. But this in turn adds another layer of security – the potential to be exploited by people who don’t even know what they’re doing.

Now I’ve spent months trying to prove I’m actually using my old business passwords and using an existing one – the same as you. I’ve also learned something about how to bypass passwords so I can access my money, or avoid detection in case I open a bank account or file a fraud complaint.

I’ve also worked to secure my credit and debit debit cards. After my bank account was hacked into, I used my credit card number to get into a bank account in this country and tried to use it to open a credit card account in Arizona and try to use it to open a debit card account in Nevada. – Jonathan Kolmer, I used my credit card numbers to get into a Chase Sapphire Preferred card – my real credit card number

The combination of my old business passwords and new two-factor authentication require a lot of training and memorisation. Add to this learning about user identity and you’ve got yourself a huge learning curve.

Even on a budget, I’m starting to spend some time writing about myself. One of my skills is to research and understand how to spend my money, but it’s still early days. I hope to write more about my life and get more public exposure.

Don’t forget: I always tell people always keep your personal information secure – including your credit card number

I never thought I’d be in this way, but it’s only been a year. I’ve decided to post this journey in an easier format so people can see the world through new eyes.

I only like to keep it private now, so don’t get too caught up in the self-flagellating gossip about who the real person is. I don’t want to drag on my story for too long, but I know it’s going to become all too familiar.
