account numbers most certainly and if in any doubt shred the piece of paper.

Having already had my identity stolen, I'm extra sensitive now and I just take everything out to our burn barrel and have a nice fire every now and then.

But who knows what the future holds. Please shred all papers with the scans. At the very least, you are just shredding papers that may be deemed necessary in the future but you’ll be so used to shredding them by then that it won’t matter if they add personal information.

Companies do it. Surely governments do it. All this cyber security is not for no reason.

'Your information is important to us. We used the best protection. Choose a secure password. Now tell us everything about you.'

Something incongruous about all that.
