How safe are you from identity theft, fraud and other things?

Ok thank you very much you might be saying, but now the internet makes this EASIER and although banks claim internet banking is secure it has been proved easy for people to get details using keyloggers and such.

Then at the level of people who are technically minded, are you broadcasting your address and phone number with your Sites WHOIS information?

Remember to use passwords which aren't easily guessed with numbers and letters mixed, change them AT LEAST once every so often and keep them varied, if someone guesses your password to Hotmail, will they be able to get into everything else you own?

No one should think they are safe, remember to keep an eye out and don't get too comfortable!

I usually use sites that have verified by visa
Keyloggers are of no consequence ;) i have my own pc and its 100% safe

when you see https also check the lock icon and hover your mouse and make sure its 128bit encryption.
