The story of "The Hackers and the Reporter's Credit Card Number" shows symptoms
of passing into folklore.

I wonder if it's true: not whether he was told it happened, but whether it
actually DID happen; whether he or anyone ever saw any plain factual evidence
that people stole his private information.  If not, it's just folklore.

For an understanding of modern folklore, read a fascinating book entitled
"The Vanishing Hitchhiker".
