I got hacked twice this month. The first time I was going for a layup at the local gym. The second time was learning I'm among the more than 313,000 Minnesotans and nearly 80 million Americans whose personal information might have been accessed during the recent Anthem health insurer data breach.
The compromised information includes names, member health identification numbers, dates of birth, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and employment and income information.
Now, I'm an old-school, practical kind of guy. I try as much as I can to pay bills and items face to face with cash. I shred every identifiable document that comes home that I don't need to store. My credit limit is intentionally pretty low compared to most users.
Given the microscopic interest given out by banks these days, I'm tempted to withdraw my meager savings and place them under the mattress or some hollowed-out space under a floorboard. On the electronic front, I don't do anything personal on public Wi-Fi sites and don't shop on my smartphone, either.

Failing that, have many.
With many, you could even one day become president.
