A British celebrity, to demonstrate that privacy breaches are much ado about nothing, published his bank account number in a newspaper column and taunted that:
"All you'll be able to do with them is put money into my account. Not take it out. Honestly, I've never known such a palaver about nothing," he told readers.
Nothing can go wrong here, right? A wily reader used the information to set up an automatic debit to a Diabetes charity.
Lesson: Don't try to be cute with your personal information.
