People should know also identity theft is the use of someones personal ( name, date of birth, ‘SSN’ or Drivers License number ) details, to defraud them or companies of money, goods or services.

However, if someone just obtains your credit card number or internet banking login it’s usually called ‘Access Device Fraud’, read the law.

Fraud is a very diverse crime/field of work.

Suspect everything. Build a network of trusted people/companies to do business with and do business with them only. Take advantage of the fact you are covered by banks ( in most countries ) with Zero Liability for fraudelent charges, if you’re credit card data has been compromised and somebody else has used it.

There is no such thing as security.

Security is nothing more then a feeling of being safe, it’s an evolved (result?) human emotion, stemming from social conditioning (imho).

Anyone who operates a computer and wants to be safe from ‘ID theft’, remember this:

THE WEAKNESS IS ALWAYS THE USER

The police don’t have the resources to keep up with the epidemic. There’s thousands of people out there just like this guy, who isn’t me.
It’s an industry. The hackers hide behind VPNs and infected ‘zombie’ computers, anyone can be a zombie, it’s just a Port-Redirect or Socks proxy opened up on your infected computer. You can chain proxies too ( make it go thru multiple – bouncing – hosts )
In this industry business is conducted online, and people are just getting better and better at this.

Someone who isn’t me makes at least 20K a week, from phishing internet banking accounts from naive people; by the sounds of things, these people remind me just like the people posting here, or their parents.

Someone in chat said WEP your network. WEP is the EASIEST thing to crack in the world. Not sure if they knew what they were talking about.

The only sharing in this house is on the main computer. I won’t share files on my computer.

As for not signing the back of the card, not everyone checks the back of the card. What’s worse, you can sign it in front of them AND they will accept it.

In mac os x there is an erase feature in Disk Utility that allows you to do a 7 time pass erase like Darik’s Boot and Nuke. It also allows you to do a ridiculous 35 time pass erase as well which i’ve never seen before

the best you can do is overwrite the deleted files with as much random stuff as possible but even then its still possible to get some text or the filename. also shredding files securely on your computer above dod level is illegal (ie gutman) although no-one can tell
