I read something the other day about online security, about how to keep your identity safe. It had all of the usual 'change your password regularly', 'look for https at the start of the website address to show that it's secure when entering details', 'change your security settings so that only people you know have your email address', 'don't tell people when you're on holiday',  things like that.

And towards the bottom of the article, it said to never tell anybody what your mother's maiden name is, or your birthday. I don't have a problem with the maiden name part (I don't even use that as my security question, but I still wouldn't shout about what it is), but apparently banks and things use your date of birth to confirm things.

But the thing is, I want people to see when my borthday is. I like the feeling I get when people are happy for me ^_^ is that too much to ask?

In case anybody was wondering, it's the 20th December. And I have a wishlist on hmv if you would like me to email it to you xP


Besides, anybody impersonating me may know my date of birth, but if they come under scrutiny they'll never pass. They won't know my favourite flavour of jam.
