Like
many mothers, Andrea Grace will sit down at her PC to check
e-mail, only to find that her kids, Jason, 8, and Rachel, 10,
have installed some new programs. "Between those CD-ROM
games found in cereal boxes and downloaded Neopets, there are
now icons all over the place," says Grace. "And of
course they don't play half the games. If I ran out of space
I wouldn't know how to delete them," she admits.

Hopefully,
we've all become wise
to phishing attacks, so
named because they cast the bait (via e-mail) and if you bite,
they can lure your personal information out of you. These scams
are now fairly recognizable and usually arrive as a note from
a bank asking you to go to its site (link provided, of course)
to reenter your most personal information. The fact that a bank
wouldn't really need your mother's maiden name might tip you
off. Most likely, though, you spot the misspellings in this
bogus e-mail, or you're otherwise savvy to the identity theft
scam and immediately trash these messages unread.

JOSE, Calif. - In war, politics and sports, it's often said
that the best defense is a strong offense. But the foot soldiers
of computer security work differently: They scramble to build
virtual walls that can blunt the impact of attacks. Now, a Texas
company wants to bring vigilante justice to cyberspace.

can be fun and easy in a well-designed online store open 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. (Sometimes too fun and easy!)
As
you shop, however, you may worry about never getting what
you paid for, the theft of your credit card number, or unwittingly
sharing your private information—or worse. And then there
are dangers that you may never have imagined, such as downloading
spyware. Follow the guidelines below to help reduce your risk
of being defrauded or cheated, and make shopping online the
good time it can be.

KEEP
YOUR
NUMBER
Northwest
Indiana Business Journal - October 2003 |
Beginning
November 24, 2003, cell phone users can keep their current number
when they change carriers. To win consumer loyalty, providers
will be offering additional benefits. By waiting to change carriers,
consumers may receive additional incentives such as free minutes,
text messaging and other premium services.
Be advised, because of the change, providers rates may drop
and therefore reconsider signing long term contracts. Cheaper
carrier plans may emerge as well |
