Damn, I'm pretty paranoid about posting any personal info on anything that has an internet connection (websites, laptop etc), but looks like I need to be even more paranoid!

I find that I get annoyed when people forward jokes and stuff and don't take the time to protect my email address. You should put all your fowarded emails addys in the BCC (BLIND carbon copy) field and delete all other emails that show up in the BODY of the mail. This way the person I send on the joke or whatever, doesn't have all the extra email info that they can collect should they get malware or something. And protects others too.

Been reading on that site a bit more, http://www.attackvector.org/invasion-of-privacy-the-sequel/ is another interesting read. The scary thing is, he isn't bullshitting about the technology involved and most of the "special" software involved is easily available.

he isn't bullshitting about the technology involved

...but he is rather oversensationalising the situation.  Much of his 'advice' is of questionable value, I'd say.

He may be, but I'd say that's a necessity to get the point across.
