Victimized by Data Mining

(Before It's News)

Working in the IT field you never quit know what you may come across.What for sure I did not accept was to take a call from a former employer that was to inform me that I had sent him an email that crashed his email.So a bit intrigued and also a bit surprised because the email address he gave me is a week old and has no sent or received mail I head down to check it out.Needless to say said former employer is not happy as he puts with a scouting look “It worked then then this([email protected]} popped up now it don’t work!” So after a bit of work I was able to correct the issue and as I sat back for a much needed stiff drink I realized that both he and I had been victims of data mining.He was using windows live mail with a Comcast address and the live mail glitched and wanted him to relog in the only problem is he was logged in only he was logged in with his [email protected] address.Now the @live address is in no way affiliated with former employer I have not worked for him for over six months and the @live address is only a week old.So the only way that John Doe cane be connected to former employer (which caused the glitch) is through former employer’s electronic communications. When I created [email protected]  it caused his glitch because a computer had jdoe@this ip address due to information gathered by screening massive communications aka data mining.America is quickly becoming a scary place to call home.
