They are so many hostile programs,websites,scams,crimes going on the internet right know its like a WAR ZONE. But here is the catch THEY ARE NO SIDES ITS A "FREE FOR ALL" ZONE. so basically you got to protect yourself otherwise YOU will get screwed. Stay informed. FOR example the NIGERAN letter scam look it up find out what its about. AND MY GOD PEOPLE DON"T GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE ON THE INTERNET. DON"T STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. KEEP ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ENCRYPTED AND SWEEP YOUR SYSTEM FOR KEYLOGGERS AND TROGANS AND VIRUSES. AND THERE IS SUCH A THING AS FAKE EMAIL USE EMAIL AUTHETICATION. AND FOR YOU BUSINESS GUYS DON"T DO STUPID THINGS LIKE LEAVE WIRELESS NETWORKS ENCRYPTED POORLY OR NOT ENCRYPTED AT ALL. ANYONE CAN INTERCEPT THE COM(COMMUNICATION). THESE ARE NOT "FANTASY" CRIMES IN TODAY"S WORLD THEY ARE GROWING VERY FAST. WATCH OUT OR GET SCREWED. identity theft is the growing crime it today's world. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU THROW STUFF IN THE GARBAGE DON"T THROW YOUR PERSONAL LETTERS OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE GARBAGE MY SEEN IT A THOUSAND TIMES PEOPLE STEAL YOUR GARBAGE. DESTROY ALL YOU PERSONAL INFORMATION IN A SAFE MANNER. AND DON"T ENTER YOUR NAME IN STUPID "LOTTERY"S" AT THE MALL SOME OF THESE ARE SCAM"S TO GET YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. DON"T EVEN GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR A DISCOUNT ON A PRODUCT/SERVICE YOU PERSONAL INFORMATION IS WORTH more that a CHEESY DISCOUNT. CHANGE YOUR BANK CARD CODES EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR CARD. THEY ARE HARDWARE DEVICES THAT ARE USED TO RECORDED YOUR KEYCODES. WHATS DISTURBING IS THAT A LARGE PORTION OF THE POPULATION HAS NO CLUE HOW DEEP THE PROBLEM IS. THEY CAN"T ATTACK YOU MULTIPLE WAYS. you have to implemeted security protocol's to protect yourself or you could get screwed. just like you lock your car door. you got to GUARD YOUR personal information.
