According to the Federal Trade Commission's report National and State Trends in Fraud & Identity Theft, there were 246,570 identity theft complaints filed with that government agency in 2004. How well does your home network protect your identity?
With the proliferation of broadband connections and the home network it should come as no surprise that there was a twofold increase in identity theft complaints reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) between 2002 and 2004. You can no longer depend on your ISP for all of your home network security; you must take the necessary steps in your home system to secure your identity. This chapter download from The Symantec Guide to Home Internet Security, by Andrew Conry-Murray and Vincent Weafer, explains how thieves acquire your personal information, how to prevent it, and what you can do to recover if such a theft occurs.
