| Written by Know a Byte | | Friday, 11 June 2010 17:39 |  The Information Commission is advocating due care and attention about the amount and type of personal information you reveal about yourself.
Not really from an ID theft point of view (though that can be a problem if you give away too much personal information), but more from "wearing your heart on your sleeve" via social networking.
Do you really want your current or future employers to know how many beers you routinely consume? That you took a "sickie" yesterday, last week, last month, five times last year?
The site is pretty much targeted at younger adults - read more here - stay in control of your online information, don't let your profile come back to haunt you!.

| The Dangers of Wireless Routers | | | |
| Written by Know a Byte | | Saturday, 06 March 2010 15:47 |  One of the biggest threats when using a wireless network is that an unauthorised hacker, neighbour's computer etc connects to it.
Once passed your routers firewall your PC can be directly attacked as can your internet connection itself. To guard against this you must enable encryption. Common standards are: WEP - this is Wired Equivalent Privacy, but is old and obsolete - don't use this unless there are no other options - it is better than nothing by a long way though! EDIT - read our blog post on how WEP is broken to see how easily this can be bypassed with the correct tools WPA - WiFi Protected Access, until recently the recommended standard - if you have this use it. WPA2- WiFi Protected Access, err 2! This protocol is the best and supports two standards - look for routers that support the AES standard. | | Last Updated on Saturday, 17 July 2010 09:27 | | Read more... |
