ID Theft

3 Ways You Are Unknowingly Rolling Out The Red Carpet For

Identity Thieves

Warning! Even if you have anti-virus, spyware protection, and a firewall, you could still be an easy target for identity thieves, hackers and cyber criminals. Read on to find out how YOU are giving online criminals free access to your personal and financial information…

You’ve done all the right things. You’ve installed a good firewall, you keep your antivirus up to date, and you’re making sure you keep up with the latest security patches…so your computer network should be safe from identity thieves, right?  Wrong!

According to a recent study, 37% of electronic identity theft cases had one thing in common: they were caused by an action taken by the user. That’s right, more than a third of identity thefts were not thefts, but giveaways!

So how do you avoid this happening to your home or company computers?

No one is 100% safe, but the following 3 tips will stop you from accidentally giving online criminals access to your computer network and confidential information:

1. NEVER visit or download free music files, videos or programs from file-sharing sites. Not only are you downloading stolen materials, but these sites are surefire ways to introduce worms and viruses to your computer. If you are a business owner, set up web filtering software to prevent employees from downloading any unauthorized programs or files.

2. NEVER respond to any e-mail from a bank, credit card company, PayPal or online store where items are purchased (such as eBay) asking you to verify your account information, no matter how credible or legitimate it looks. These are phishing scams set up to access your account information.

3. Ask for identification from anyone asking for physical access to electronic equipment, and instruct staff to do so as well.  Just to test a theory, someone asked a friend to walk into an office, said they are from “the phone company” responding to a problem, and asked to see the network. Access was granted every single time.

Beverly Patrick

"My HP was running extremely slow and I had many issues accessing certain programs, etc.  After months of this and a high quote from Best Buy, I just decided to just buy a MAC.  I called Paul to transfer my files and photos and also maybe teach me a little about my new MacBook Air.  He totally surpassed my expectations.  He ended up not only helping me transfer and organize my files but removed a virus (& other stuff I didn’t quite understand), getting my HP back and running just like new.  He also recommended free workshops to learn how to use my new computer.  Such an honest and knowledgeable guy, which I’m especially grateful for because I know nothing about computers."

Domonique Rodriguez
