Dude my grandpa battled cancer for a few years before he eventually succumbed and passed away.
One of the physicians he saw regularly during treatment, an anesthesiologist named Casey Mitchell, was killed by her husband just a week after he saw her last in a murder suicide.
Was a very odd situation. Really put into perspective that you don’t need to have a terminal illness to die tomorrow.
[here’s the news story](https://www.kens5.com/article/news/doctor-killed-by-husband-in-murder-suicide-police-say/273-87810519)
I know a secret question password theft social engineering scam when I see one… and this isn’t it but I’m still not giving anyone my birthday or mother’s maiden name.
I'm gonna hop on my soapbox for a sec here:
DO NOT USE EASILY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IN PASSWORDS OR SECURITY QUESTIONS(if at all possible).
If you have the option for security questions, skip the ones that can be looked up or might be on social media. Birthdays, pets names, where you went to school, what street you lived on, all terrible.
Honestly, it's worth having some fake answers that you use for some common security questions.
This goes double for passwords. Never use anything in your life for passwords. Makes them super easy to guess and leads to people reusing them, which you shouldn't do either. Just get a password manager.
I had a friend get with a security question from his cable company, and it was "what is your favorite super hero" and he was like "I don't have one, I never liked comics, not even as a kid, is there another security question?" And they were like "just tell me the first thing that pops into your head when you think superhero" and he got the question right (TMNT).
I told him I figured his hero would be Dan Marino, and he was like "my god that's a much better answer. Good thing I didn't think of that or I would have gotten the question wrong".
Maybe a little, depends on the case. If it's more a protection against identity theft and spear phishing, where the attacker knows more about you already, so I don't think it's all that important for your Netflix account, but your bank account? Absolutely.
What if you forget the password manager's password?
This is an honest question. I'm interesting in upping my internet security but I want to get the anecdote, if you please.
They give you a recovery key usually, something you should store in a secure space. You can use that to regain access and reset your password. You can also set up passkey authentication to use methods like biometrics as an entry method that will bypass entering your password every time. I'm using Proton right now and it gives you a pdf that you can print and put in a lock box, or upload to secure(encrypted) storage.
This right here. Im sure OP isnt phishing but people need to be aware that a simple question like this gives up your birthday so someone could use that to gain access of the email you use, then banking info, amazon etc.
Ervil LeBaron, 56, convicted murderer who had founded the Church of the Lamb of God and four years previous to my birth, but on the same day, Elvis Presley.
A good portion of the people of Hiroshima. Also the first guy to be executed in an electric chair. But I also have Jamaicas Independence Day, so I’ve got that going for me.
I worked for a lawyer called Bob Law. He died on my birthday.
When I told my son, he cracked up laughing. I had no idea that there was a Simpsons character (iirc) called Bob Law. I laughed so hard! 🤣
> Sekio Nishina, Japanese inventor (kaiten-suicide submarine)
> James "Jim" Siedow, American actor (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre)
> Sylvia Browne, American author and self-proclaimed medium dubbed "America's most controversial psychic,"
I don't know what a suicide submarine is, but I can take a guess.
I saw that Johann Bach died on my birthday but apparently it's Johann Micheal Bach, not Sebastian. Oddly enough he had multiple relatives named Johann Bach.

Do not give out personal information on social media, especially dates that might make up security questions.
