Tell me why that when I logged into my Paypal account this morning, it asked me to confirm my bank account number and/or credit card, followed by this message:

Security measures – Are You Travelling?

We recently noted one or more attempts to log in to your account from a foreign country. If you accessed your account while travelling, the attemt(s) may have been initiated by you.

Because the behavior was unusual for your account, we would like to take an extra step to ensure your security. Please confirm whether or not you attempted thse logins:

IP Address: [IP here]
Time: 12/29/2002 19:15:38
Country: Croatia

Did you authorize these login attempts?

Yes, I authorized all of the above logins to my Paypal account.
No, I believe that someone has acquired my email address and password.

Of course I clicked no. I have no business in Croatia *sigh* It’s a good thing I didn’t have any money in the account with some Croatian trying to hack into my shit. On the other hand, it’s good to see that Paypal does take these security measures.


Yet another personality quiz:

Your score is:
33/50
What does that mean?

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.

About your score…
The closer to fifty that the number is, the stronger your personality is.
The closer to zero that the number is, the weaker your personality.
The best scores to have are between 25 and 40.

My personality is rated 33.
What is yours?
