Nothing on-line is "secure". If someone wants information badly enough they can get it, and quite easily. "Https:" may hold people with bad intentions at bay a little longer, but it is not an unbreakable barrier by any means. We are all vulnerable of people getting our information off the internet. In fact, the internet was invented for just that, to get information and to be able to communicate more quickly with others.

The best suggestion I can offer is one that has already been offered. Only share what you are comfortable with the rest of the world knowing. The folks behind the PC curtain do their best to protect the privacy of it's members, and for that I thank them. The truth is though it is up to us to decide what risks we are willing to take to be a part of this community. I've been here at PC since March of '09 and I have learned that the risk is relatively low.

I hope this helps to allay your fears.
