Everyone knows that details are far too easily obtained online these days, but have you ever thought about offline?

I went into town today to grab some flyers about home internet from some of the shops.
Picked up a brochure from one of the shops and took it home.

I was looking at the front cover when I saw some writing indents in the light. Upon further inspection it appears that I now have the following:

Name of person
Address in Edinburgh
Address in France
E-mail address
Date of Birth
and Mobile Number.

luckily for this person it says at the bottom

“bank details to follow”

This could easily have fallen into the wrong hands and if there were bank details on there then this person would truly have been royally screwed.

Just goes to show that people need to be more careful with their details offline as well as online.
