Some databased issues that I have encountered or heard about from others would be things like when you go onto certain websites, sometimes they want you to fill out personal information like your email, phone number, or sometimes you address or credit card information just to use the site. This is a major security issue, and you should never use websites that ask things like that unless you know for certain it is a real site. This has happened to me as well as family members and some of them have filled it out then started getting fake emails from people. This is dangerous to do because that site can save your information even if you delete it and this can lead to you getting hacked or something worse. Another that I experienced and still do from time to time would be I get fake emails and text messages saying things like “your package cannot be delivered due to insufficient information”, and they would want me to put my address in it, I don’t know why or what it is for exactly but I am a very cautious person with things like that so I never do it but if someone were to their personal information could be stolen. I also one time was out of town, and someone took three hundred dollars out of my account, and no one could figure out why and my brother had the same thing happen same amount and everything. This is the only thing that I ever had happen bad.
