Answer to Question 1

Identity theft occurs when a person uses the Internet to steal someone's identity and/or impersonate the victim to open a new credit card account or conduct some other financial transaction. Identity theft can destroy a person's life by manipulating credit records or stealing from their bank accounts. Phishing involves the creation of false e-mails and/or Web sites that look legitimate but are designed to gain illegal access to a victim's personal information. Vishing is a form of phishing utilizing Internet phone protocols.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
