Online Protection

One of the most common ways of a thief stealing your identity is via the Internet. There are some methods to protect yourself from falling foul of these tricksters.

If you've got a wireless network it's vital that you restrict access to your wireless router. Please read our securing your wireless network page.

Always use multiple passwords when registering on different sites. Please read our guide to using multiple passwords page.

 

Also it's important to be aware of the network you're connecting to when out and about. Read our guide to security consideration when connecting to unknown wireless hotspots.
