lifelock shows you if you are vulnerable

lifelock.com teaches you on their site that there may not be much you can do to prevent a hacker from infiltrating a retailer’s database, but you can lessen the chance of becoming a victim by doing business exclusively with legitimate online retailers. Many companies who conduct Internet only business go to great lengths to secure data, making them the safest bet for keeping your data out of the hands of hackers. Be sure it’s a reputable company before you buy. Don’t transmit sensitive information over computers at Internet cafes – hackers often load viruses onto these computers and can lift information off of them with relative ease.

Additionally at lifelock they explain in detail that hackers will often buy old, unwanted computers and troll their hard drives for sensitive information, so if you purchase a new computer, be sure to wipe all personal files off the old one before getting rid of it. The same goes for Blackberries, Palm Pilots, and PDA’s, which often hold both personal and business-related information.

To protect yourself from these threats please use lifelock promotion code and get 30 days free and $11 OFF annual membership - RD17
