We Are Besieged by Hackers

Ben Stein's DREEMZ By Monday, 13 October 2014 12:20 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

If you were to drive by our home in Beverly Hills, you would think that the people who live there have it made. The lawn is green. The trees are tall and leafy. The flowers are vibrant and the paint is clean and white.
 
But in fact, my wife and I are under more or less constant attack. Someone hacked my Citibank MasterCard starting a few months ago. My wife and I, and millions, maybe tens of millions like us, are just fat, juicy farm animals for the vampire bats of modern-day theft, most of it done on the Internet, says Ben Stein in The American Spectator.
 
Ben Stein is a writer, actor, and lawyer, who served as a speechwriter in the Nixon administration as the Watergate scandal unfolded. He began his unlikely road to stardom when director John Hughes cast him as the numbingly dull economics teacher in the urban comedy, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
