Would it be easy for someone to guess your password? Would it be easy for someone to guess your answers to your security questions? Do you use a different password for each of your social media and email accounts?

Beef Up Your Security
Make sure you have good UP-TO-DATE anti-virus software installed on your computer. Yes, it’s pricey. Yes, it’s worth it. Some internet service providers give you software to use. ASK! Consider getting a program that will make up super- secure passwords for you. Free ones include LastPass 4.0 and LogMeOnce. Subscription programs include Zoho Vault and LastPass Premium.

Know Who You’re Ordering From
Hackers make web pages to look like products/companies that we know, but they count on us being distracted and ending up on the wrong page Examples: Underarmor.info – should be underarmor.com Blakberry.com – should be blackberry.com

Facebook is a social networking site that allows people to post comments, share photos and other info with friends. Some think it’s safer because you must “accept” friends. And it mostly is. BUT Many of those quizzes that seem fun actually contain malware that can allow hackers to gain access to your profile…and your computer.

through “tweets” – messages that are no more than 140 characters long. Can contain photos, videos and links.
