Phishers are slow to react

I'm disappointed in the phishing community. I've not yet received a single email saying "Our records show that your personal information was compromised in the HMRC leak. Click here to reset your access details."

It's only a matter of time ... Probably best not to encourage them ;)

Ah, but that's because they know you don't have kids, you see...

I see this whole HMRC cock-up as a positive event. With 25 million identities to play with, why would anyone want to bother stealing mine now?

Especially as you died in the 17th century and probably don't have online banking.

Yes, that's an added bonus obviously...

Although you may remember that when I lived in the North End flat I used to reply to junk mail as "John Dillinger, born 1 April 1900". After a couple of years the mail was pouring in for him, loads every day, including interest-free bank loans and all sorts of financial stuff. He even started getting hard core porn brochures...

So being very old and dead doesn't stop you having a bank account. Or enjoying porn.

You don't get to be stiff for a couple of hundred years without it.
