    Nice one Peter, couldn't agree with you more on this. I have found user error 9 times out of 10 when it comes to penetration tests.

    Your last comment is spot on which is why people should have a few hundred bucks on a cash bought pre-paid card sitting around for certain purchasers requiring visa/mastercard facilities.

    But then everything comes undone when this generation has a need to post everything happening in their lives from taking a dump (god forbid) to doing nails through to in depth holiday itineraries. I get seriously amazed at how people think this does not expose.

    Easy solution: don't post major purchases on social media. And don't post your holiday pics while you are on holiday if your house is empty... :)

    I once had an immigrant client proudly post his brand new drivers license on Facebook. That prompted a very quick phone call.
