ID Giveaway

Does a week go by without another one of these stories?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A security breach has occurred at a third-party processor of payment card transactions that affects over 40 million credit card accounts, Mastercard International said Friday.

Of the cards involved, 13.9 million were MasterCard-branded cards, which include Maestro and Cirrus, and 22 million were Visa cards, said Visa spokeswoman Rhonda Bentz.

OK, I give up. I'm just giving my personal information away. If it's going to happen anyway, I might as well be the one to do it.

So go here...it's all there, my Social Security Number, my address, my credit card numbers, my ATM password, everything.

As I have only been a victim of identity theft once before, I'm looking forward to my next to bouts with this fun. Especially since I have a loan with Citi and a card with MC.

Next Wells Fargo needs to get hacked to complete the trifecta.
