Answer to Question #185408 in Management for Loren Bhe Cocce

Question

Genuine Scenario: One of the staff individuals in ITS buys in to a number of free IT magazines. Among the inquiries she was asked to initiate her memberships, one magazine requested her long stretch of birth, a second inquired for her time of birth, and a third requested her mom's last name by birth. What do you think may be going on here?

Answer 1

First of all, those can be routine identification questions and nothing is going on. However, but given that the IT magazines are free, criminals can hijack the process and obtain personal information, and sell or use them to defraud individuals off their hard earned moneys.
