Google and website posioning
I read and interesting article on google's search tool. This is more of a tip that may help somewhat when you do a search for whatever your looking for.
It seems when you type in lets say dog training you think you will get safe secure sites on your results but what has happened lately is malicious hackers are using SEO poisoning to secure top search ranking. What does that mean to you? Well when you click the link the site will want you give you a warning stating your computer has been infected which you and i know is not the case.
So try this instead when you go to google. use https://www.google.com the https is a more secure way to surf the web. Thanks for reading and surf safely.

Dumpster Diving and preventing ID theft.
When you go threw your mail its easy to throw away your bank statements and other information. With all the idenity theft conducted online criminals have an easier way to gain your information without the use of a computer. When everyone is at work criminials will do what is called dumpster diving. This is when a criminal will go into a trash can looking for any personal documents that has personal information such as bank accounts, social security information, any information that may be of value to the criminal. To prevent this get yourself a shredder which will cut your documents into cubes verses the single line shredder. It will take you some time to do but at the end it is worth your finances.
The last thing you want is when you apply for a house or car unauthorized credit card transaction has happened in your name right? As always stay safe on and off line.
