What are the effects of identity theft on an organization?

August 26th, 2007

If
identity theft can cause so much trouble for an individual, it can also cause
the same kind of trouble to companies or organizations.

It
seems that people have found a gold mine in stealing other peoples’ information
to use for their own personal gain. And since there are a lot of benefits
gained from this, there is no stopping anyone from doing it more and more.

The
popularity of the Internet and computer databases has only become an additional
tool for thieves to steal information from. Just think of all the genius minds
wandering unnoticed everyday.

The
economic and social effect of this crime is not something to be ignored. If
they can do these things to nameless individuals then the more they can do it
with big organizations that are known and may have some of its information up
for grabs.

Even if
there is still no perfect solution, every organization should take reasonable
steps to reduce the risk and to know what to do if an identity theft incident
occurs there.

Identity
theft in an organization can be attested to different factors:

Identity
theft because of negligence and lenient standards.

Beware Of Identity Theft On The Internet

August 23rd, 2007

The so called information age that we live in today has many benefits. These benefits basically boil down to speed. We can get things down faster than ever before. This might mean we can watch the latest movie on demand or that we can process our new passport in 14 days. If you think back to even the 1970’s, it would take years before you could watch the latest movies in your own home or months to get a new passport. Having information and being able to process it efficiently are the cornerstone of the information age but these benefits can also be subverted for criminal purposes. Identity theft utilizes the information about a person to commit crime and it seems to be a growth industry as more people spend time on the Internet and shop online.



Identity theft can take many forms but it can be split into two types. I call these low tech. identity theft and high tech. identity theft.




Low tech. identity theft is nothing short of common or garden theft. It could mean going through someones trash for personal details. It is not so hard to prevent identity theft of this sort. Shred all letters that you plan to throw out (or rip them up if you don’t have a shredder). Above all, become aware of the value that your personal information has to criminals and be wary about how it is used.




High tech. theft is harder to guard against as it involves technology. Computer hackers or ingenious phishing scams are often hard to recognize however there are simple guidelines to follow. The first is to have the latest virus, firewall and spyware software installed on your computer. This should protect you from most hackers. Never open any attachments sent via email from people you don’t know. Never give personal information away based on an email request. This is known as phishing and is a way to steal your identity. Identity theft prevention is 90% common sense. Adhere to these guidelines and you should be ok.

The VoIP phone system and our revolutionized communication technology

August 19th, 2007

The continuous revolution of technology is steadfastly converting our world into a better, more comfortable place to live in. Before, people only communicate through mails delivered by hand from one place to another. Years of innovation paved way to the use of telephones, beepers, and cellular phones. Communication technology’s significant breakthroughs are still spewing out from the brains of the experts, and so today, talking to anybody anywhere around the world is made cheaper with the use of a computer and an internet connection.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the latest technology allowing you to deliver and receive voice calls using an Internet connection, particularly broadband, as a substitute to an analog or an ordinary phone line. Also, it is referred to as the Broadband telephony, Voice over Broadband, IP Telephony Broadband Phone, and Internet telephony.

Your voice is translated into a digital signal that travels over the Internet through the VoIP services. Once calling a regular telephone number, the signal is coverts to a regular telephone signal just before it arrives at the destination.

Download TV Episodes

How
To
Download TV Episodes

Tools available to download TV episodes can be
divided into two categories legal and illegal; “legal” tools
(typically charge about $2 to download an episode of a television show) like
the iTunes Music Store and Google Video, and “unauthorized” (are
typically free tools like BitTorrent and Internet Relay Chat). The difference
between legal and unauthorized methods is whether the television network has
authorized the distribution of that program.

Normally you should resort to downloading from
iTunes Music Store or Google Video – as it is ethical and also they are easy to
handle downloading an episode. Contrary to this downloading a program with
BitTorrent is a intricate procedure that necessitates steering awkward
(sometimes untrustworthy) video search sites and waiting hours (sometimes
overnight) while the show downloads. Even then, the episode might turn out to
be encoded in a format that your PC doesn’t handle: so you’ve got to find and
install the proper video CODEC. It can be a time-consuming, frustrating
process.

Protecting Your Computer From Viruses With Online Scanners

August 1st, 2007

One of the biggest threats everyone faces who likes to surf the net is viruses. The nasty little programs can actually cause irreparable damage to your computer. Having a method of checking whether your computer is affected is important. If you don’t have virus software installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can utilize the Internet by using an online virus scan. These programs are efficient and in many cases, free.


Visit the Protecting Your Computer From Viruses article from SpamHunters that will assist you in keeping your computer spyware, spam and virus free.


The first thing to look for when you want to scan your computer for viruses using an online site is how reliable the site itself is. Many naïve individuals have followed a link to a site that claims to offer an online virus scan only to find that they need to download something that ultimately proves to be a virus. The best sites to visit are those that are well-known and that have a solid reputation behind them.


Once you find a site you trust you need to set aside some time for the scan to do its work. It’s best to not be running many different programs while the online virus scan is on. This will only slow down both the scan itself but it will also make whatever programs you are using, move at a much slower pace as well. The best thing to do is to let the scan finish before attempting to use the machine.
