Know what? I heard it was illegal in the UK to give websites fake information. But looking at that list of websites justifies what I have been doing for the past 18 years religiously. When a website asks my age, I give it a fake one. When a shop asks for my debit card details I give it my initials J B and then I will confirm the sms security from my bank when the initials flag 30% of the time. Giving every company real data just means it gets leaked. That list of hacked domain names covers just about everyone. Wow.

100% with you. It depends on the site but yeah a lot of my information is fake. I really don't understand why so many websites think they need things like my address or phone number anyway. Good thing I live on 100 YouDontNeedThis Blvd!
