Reading these comments, it's amazing how hard it is to be a responsible person these days.

The bad guys would have no problem selling this data to make a quick buck.

While the anonymous person understands some of the responses, and will make super sure to do absolutely nil until they have spoken to an attorney (and obviously not access anything on purpose now), they too are a little bit surprised to see some users worried they might get kidnapped and similar.

It is like they have never seen any other regular person with money before.
