Debit cards are dangerous.  You do not get the same protections on a debit card that you get with a credit card.  So why would anyone want to have a card that can take money right our of their bank accounts?  Seriously, what benefit is there that outweighs the risks?

Watch the You Tube video and decide for yourself.

So for those of you who thought this could not happen to you, 130,000,000 credit cards are an awful lot of cards.  Could it be that one of them was yours.  After watching this video, I checked my cards again and I would urge you to do the same.

One thing to take away from this is that protecting your privacy, and your identity, is up to you. You need to be vigilant. Think about the issues and put safeguards in place so that you are not the subject of a You Tube video on identity theft..
