Well. I've seen posts where people replied to threads that were 1-2 years old. I *knew* it was an old thread, I just don't get on here very often. I'm not a cool kid. Some people are replying to threads and don't know.. that's a different case.

One thing to remember, if they want in your system, there's a good chance they'll get in it.
I had my wireless connection compromised a few months ago. Normally i would have phucked with them. but it was on the day I got my root canal, so i just unplugged my router, took some drugs, and went to sleep.

lol. that's one way to take care of it!MiaTurbo said:
Backups people...its the age old solution. Even if no one hacks into your computer there is still the risk of hardware failure, fire, flood, lighting, and so forth.
Back up your data. CDRs and CDRWs can hold 600MB of information. I don't think anyone here can claim to have more than 600MB worth of documents unless you work from home. If you are concerned about your mp3 or movie collection, invest in a DVD burner or tape drive. Tape drives may be slow but there is no other media that can hold 40+ GB of data. If you have relatives with fast internet connections you can back each other's data up over the internet too.
As for identity theft and security, don't leave credit card information on your computer. If you use Quicken or Money, make sure your data file is encrypted and password protected. You can also install PGP which will encrypt everything on your hard disk. Apple has a new feature in Mac OS X Panther called File Vault which will allow you to encrypt your home folder. If you are one of the few people to use a Mac you should turn this on.

True dat! (I think...)yashooa said:
There is being parniod and then there is doing what you can to protect yourself. In the long run anyone can pretty much get into anyones personal computer at home. Though the chances are slim so long as you take some of the basic steps laid out before. But don't live your life looking over your shoulder all the time, its not worth the annoyance.
Also don't answer some of the stupid email messages that go out. My favorite so far is a email from the US Bank requesting information. You click the link and it asks for your account numbers, bank name, address, social and the big alarm!!!! your pin number. Honestly who in their right mind would ever give them PIN number over online!! Some bank tellers don't even have access to this. If you go in saying you forgot your PIN they can't retrieve and instead just have you make a new one.
Then again there are some gullible people out there.
