Correct people from all over the world can read/ glean information from TOTV and use it for what ever purpose they wish if they are so inclined. I had an aunt that had her bank account cleaned out after her husband died and the obit was posted online. Using just a little bit of basic information someone got my uncles birth certificate and set up a fake id went to the bank and cleaned out the account. She got all of her money back but it took weeks.
