Even better, LOCK DOWN YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT WITH DOUBLE AUTHENTICATION, then set Google alerts for your:

credit card, or if paranoid, partial credit card # "123456789"

Email address

Home address

Phone number

screen name (e.g.: "andrenotgiant" -site:ycombinator.com)

Bank acct partial

Password, Password partial "p@ssw0r"
