How important is it that you construct a strong password? Just ask Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Dave Briggs, or former Alaskan governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Both of them have had their email accounts hacked by intruders who were able to guess their victims’ passwords.
For Briggs, it was his Hotmail account. Writing as Briggs, the attacker sent all of Briggs’ contacts an email begging that they send money via Western Union so that he might be released from Malaysia where he, ostensibly, was trapped. (more…)

I’ve seen stories of client information left completely unsecured, unprotected and easily accessible after the closing of a doctor’s office, a car dealership, a real estate agency and a fitness center.
In some cases the customer files were dumped into open trash bins, in others the files were simply left in abandoned offices or in boxes at the curb.
Now, with last week’s failure of Clear, the program that assured travelers’ hasty passage through airport security, the extensive information of 260,000 former customers is at risk. (more…)

The most important time to check out a company on the Better Business Bureau’s website might be when you’re shopping for an ID theft protection service.

Watch for the new yellow bracelets that say “LAID OFF NEED YOUR NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH.”
Stephanie R. Aucoin joined the ranks of millions of other unemployed Americans last September when she was fired from her job at an accounting firm last September. But, with the help of friends, by April, she was selling thousands of yellow bracelets imprinted with the words “LAID OFF NEED A JOB.”
After her arrest by Sarasota police, maybe she needs new bracelets that say “ARRESTED NEED BAIL MONEY.” (more…)

There are life-changing moments when time seems frozen, when the mind races, tripping over itself as it tries to make sense of what’s happening.
A loan for a son’s or daughter’s first car is denied because a parent’s credit score has taken a precipitous dive. A bill collector calls demanding payment on a hospital bill in another state. A woman hands her license and registration to a traffic cop, never dreaming that within minutes she’ll be handcuffed and arrested on outstanding warrants.
Those are the moments of discovery for most identity theft victims. (more…)
