Identify Theft: Security for a Digital World
By Herman T. Lee


Industrial Ethernet Switches
In networks the Industrial Ethernet Switches can inspect data and decide what to do with it. As part of their reasoning they`ll determine where the source of the data came from and decide which destination to send the data to. It sounds clever and it is clever and that`s why modern Industrial Ethernet Switches are a crucial part of network systems. With web base configuration and a choice of wall mounted or desktop installations the Industrial Ethernet Switches are easy to mount and they can be managed or unmanaged depending on each individual customer`s requirements.


If you?ve opened up the newspaper lately, turned on the radio, or spoke with a colleague, chances are you will have heard of the new rampant levels of identify theft that is taking place and growingg to new heights each year. You or someone you know may have already been a victim of this serious crime.

Why should you worry about identify theft? For one thing, a seriously damaged credit report can ruin your chances of getting a new job, a bank loan, insurance, and even rental housing. In the worst case scenario you could even be arrested if someone utilized your identity to commit a crime.

Here are some tips to help reduce the chances of having your identity compromised:

1. When making a credit card purchase, blank out the 12 numbers of your credit card number on the printed receipt (assuming that all 16 are printed as some places still do). This holds especially true at restaurants. Try not leaving the signed receipt left on the table with all numbers visible. You are permitted by law to mark out 12 of them so that passerby?s can?t get a glance and memorize your credit card number.

2. Avoid relaying your social security number to anyonee unless it?s absolutely required. Use common sense in most cases, for example to open a bank account you will probably need to give out your social security number, but if a store clerk simply wants to use your social security number to use as an ID, then you should reserve from doing so in most cases.

3. Have access to a personal shredder. For any documents you plan on throwing away it helps to shred anything that contains personally identifiable information including social security, credit card numbers, phone numbers, and birth date.

4. In the worst case scenario, i.e. if your identify has been stolen, here are some steps to assuage the situation: Contact your credit card companies and have them close your accounts as well as issue new cards for you. Put a fraud alert via one the three major credit bureaus. One will notify the other two automatically. File a police report to use as evidence when creditors ask for it. File a notice or complaint with the Federa

Virtual Reality
We had built a Virtual Reality presentation about our company for a large exhibition we were attending in town; I was so intrigued by it I watched it over and over amazed each time. I have now been working with this firm for three years and I really enjoy it, I like to get fully involved with all aspects and I know it will get me far in future, so back to the Virtual Reality presentation. It lasts for around six minutes, showing what we do and also examples of our work, the 3d images give it a really funky unusual style and it attracted so many people passing our stand. We found that using Virtual Reality was an excellent way to market our products and it encouraged us to have our website re built in this way. It allows the person to interact with the computer and we have had so many hits already after having it being live for just four months. We get so much attention because it is different to all of the others, so much time and thought has made it what it is today. We now have a unique flare to us and stand out above the rest.
