They got their eye... on your Wi-Fi! So be careful; before you cry!

 
Your Wi-Fi is password protected. You change your online banking and email pins frequently. And you never share your Social Security number online.

If this describes you, congratulations—you’re protecting yourself from the typical kinds of online identity theft. However, experts warn that a far more sophisticated breed of identity fraud is on the rise on the Web. Here are the identity cons that are on the rise—and how to combat them.

The Threat: Spear Phishing
For years, identity thieves have been "phishing," posing as banks, retailers or other institutions and requesting financial information—usually via a poorly written, laden-with-typos email.

Today, swindlers are increasingly "spear-phishing," a far more targeted and sophisticated con. "You’re now more likely to see a phishing email that starts out ‘Dear Mrs. Johnson,’ rather than ‘Dear Valued Customer,’ and they’re more likely to come from what actually looks like your bank,” says Scott Mitic, author of Stopping Identity Theft: 10 Easy Steps to Security.

How to Protect Yourself
Mitic suggests deleting all emails that come from any financial institution, even those that appear to be from your bank. “If your bank really wants to get in touch with you, they will reach you through a means other than email,” says Mitic.

Instead, communicate with your bank by phone or via their Web page, which you should bookmark and use for all contact, rather than going through a search engine, says Michael Arata, author of Preventing Identity Theft for Dummies. The reason? Criminals sometimes create phony sites to appear in search engines.

Another option: Install a software program—like McAfee’s SiteAdvisor—that warns you when you’re clicking through to a suspect website.

The Threat: Online Spying
Unscrupulous computer whizzes once focused on creating viruses that could crash your computer, but today they have developed very sophisticated forms of spyware and malware that hack into your online banking account. Internet users unwittingly download the malicious software by clicking on corrupted links. The thieves are then able to watch virtually everything the hapless user does, such as typing usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers.

How to Protect Yourself
Installing anti-spyware and anti-malware to your computer is the obvious—and best—way to ward off online spies. These programs monitor your computer and alert you when suspicious activity arises.

Many reputable companies offer free or low-cost anti-spyware software, Check out Download.com for the latest reviews and ratings.

The Threat: Social Networking
Where can thieves harvest a person’s birthday, ZIP code and possibly even their mother’s maiden name—all in one convenient location? Your favorite social networking sites, of course. “Your Facebook username and password have as much value for a thief as the username and password for your online banking,” says Mitic.

Thieves sometimes take over social networking accounts and send emails to that individual’s contacts, asking for money. “There’s usually a great story that goes along with it,” says Mitic. “They got mugged on a trip overseas and just need a small wire transfer so they can get home.”

How to Protect Yourself
For Arata, the answer is clear: Don’t join social networks on which you give out a lot of personal information. But if you can’t live without your fix of friends of friends’ baby pictures, take precautions. Don’t publish your birthday online (is it really worth risking your bank balance to get that yearly greeting from college acquaintances?) and keep your profile clear of other potentially valuable tidbits, like your ZIP code and mother’s maiden name. And definitely don’t allow people you don’t know into your network.

Finally, when a friend emails you and 342 of her other closest pals asking for an emergency cash advance, step back and ask yourself why she didn’t just call a family member. "You have to react with a healthy does of skepticism anytime anyone is asking for money,” says Mitic. “Thieves are betting on the fact that you haven’t done that calculus."

NO INFO REALLY GIVEN! - PLEASE READ!


 

NO TRUTH IN THIS LINK! THE WEB SITE WAS MADE TO BASK McDONALD'S WITH OUT ANY PROOF OF EVIDENCE. 

Do not go to the web page "http://www.mcdstruthvideo.com/" it will say it will tell you the truth about McDonald's - but it says you have to do these steps... 1. click "Like" , 2. Share & 3. post a link sharing this info on 2 other people's FaceBook's blog Then it will allow you to see the video... 

Well I just so happen to have 3. FaceBook accounts... so I posted to my own... that way I could delete it if I didn't like it... And that is what I'm going to do... In fact... I'm creating a link telling people not to go to their link for it is unfair to bash a company without evidence of even a true reason. 

Now... I personally do not go to McDonald's that often and never knew what people see in it... I sometimes wonder if they put some type of legal (I hope: I hope not illegal) addictive product in their food... Because I know people that you just say the word "McDonald's" and they perk up like they are ready for their fix. I read years ago when they say 100% beef... they mean 100% of the meat of the cattle. In the article I read years ago; McDonald's was the biggest purchaser of cow eyes in the world. But I can't say if that was/is true or not. 

My goal here is to be fair: I heard these stories, you most likely heard these stories as well. what you or I believe or disbelieve is true is our own beliefs without proof... They are just our feeling ether way. But it isn't fair to post a web site saying McDonald's "IS" when they do not have the proof, and the only goal is to have others post the info on other people's blog... this is not fair. O matter how one believes. 

So I hope people will take this link & share it with all those who they gave the link to that were never able to see the video even after doing all the requirements... (After thinking about it... how would they know if you posted the link on 2 other people's blog unless one gave them their sign in name as part of the hyperlink to have it followed through CSS) - This web page's only purpose is to Bash without evidence (With evidence; it would be making a big difference. it would be warning the people. and I would be more then happy to pass that type of info on.)...   And that is un-cool in my book. 

****************************************************************************************************

BELOW IS WHAT THE WEB PAGE LOOKS LIKE WITH COMMENTS FROM ME IN "PURPLE"! 

 

(Picture no longer available at this time)

THIS IS "NOT A VIDEO" - PROPERTIES = "Paint Shop Pro 7 Image" (IT'S ONLY A PICTURE!)

 

ENTER NOW! It's simple! You need to:

1

Like this page

(THIS IS A SIMPLE "CTRL COPY" & "PASTE" HERE FROM
FACEBOOK SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S READING IT... BUT IT'S NOT)

2

Share this page

(THE "SHARE" HYPERLINKS TO THAT IS CREATED BY THE WEBMASTER ON FACEBOOK THAT LINKS THESE TWO PAGES TOGETHER & ALLOWS YOUR LINK TO POST WITH  THE LINK BELOW ON YOUR BLOG.)

3

Post this message  2 times anywhere on facebook

GO AHEAD & PASTE THIS LINK! I CHANGED IT TO THIS LINK (http://wishlampcomputer.bravejournal.com/entry/56293) ! SO PEOPLE WILL READ THE TRUTH ABOUT "http://www.mcdstruthvideo.com/"!

Important : The 2 posts should be posted on 2 different walls!

(NOTICE THEY WANT AT LEAST 2 TO BEGIN... BUT THEN.. CAUSE THE VIDEO IF JUST PICTURE FROM PAINT SHOP PRO 7 - IT WILL LOOK LIKE THERE WAS A GLITCH... SO YOU WILL GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE CAUSE YOU WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO - THAT ISN'T THERE!) 

I WONDER HOW Mc DONALD'S FEELS ABOUT SOMEONE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO CREATE A WEB SITE TO BASH THEM WITH OUT ANY PROOF... THEN CROSSING OUT THEIR LOGO... PER SOURCE: ROUTES FROM ""http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" (F.Y.I. - JUST IN CASE THEY TRY TO HIDE IT LATER.)  

  (This picture is no longer available as well.)




(AGAIN! NO HTML CODE TO FOLLOW LINKS... IT'S JUST AN ANIMATION OF DOTS TO LOOK LIKE IT'S SEARCHING...)

Here are some reviews from the fanpage!

(THEN IT SHOWS PEOPLE WHO POSTED COMMENTS... WHEN I TESTED THE HYPERLINKS... THEY DO NOT WORK! 

BUT I  DO QUESTION; (So not named; just in case they are random names that were victimly put there.) IF THOSE PEOPLE WHO POSTED COMMENTS ARE PART OF MAKING THIS OR NOT...

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS! http://wishlampcomputer.bravejournal.com/entry/56293 

FEEL FREE TO POST YOU COMMENTS!

WELCOME TO WISHLAMP 2010!

www.WISHLAMP.com was created by Bryan R. Jenks of JENKS INDUSTRIES in the effort to help others help others. When It was first created it was on it's own web site and had many people's music and art from all over the world. but one day got hacked into and all that information was lost. Bryan's health is not the best & is is very hard for him to build back what he once had by himself. So he rebuilt what he could piggybacked on many other networks. The sad part about that is... those networks never seem to stay. (MSN, Yahoo 360 and so on. so he keeps building them up... and once that network falls he has to start all over.)

Right now Bryan had a mini stroke in August 2009 and has been off work with out pay ever since. It has been very hard for him these past months. So that is why I'm asking for him... for your help. He needs people who are willing to take up a subject. (Cars, child care, what ever) and just write about it. that's all you have to do... at least once a month. It would make a difference. WISHLAMP also can be found on FaceBook, Multipy, MySpace, Windows Live, & WISHLAMP YAHOO GROUP so if you have one of these as well as another type of blog... you can help by posting on your blog what you would and copy it on the WISHLAMP page as well.

Also anyone who needs help, or can help someone. please feel feel to post your wishes as well in the correct subject. If you just want to sell something... you can do that as well.. but please post in the correct subject. or use our BUY N SELL or  CLASSIFIED ADD links. (Please do not post your sales adds in the wrong subject. this is unfair to all as well as yourself... per no one that you want will be looking for it if it's in the wrong location.)

If you have any questions feel free to contact us as thewishlamp@hotmail.com or jenksindustries@hotmail.com

May your wish come true at www.WISHLAMP.com
