Identity theft is a growing problem on the internet.
It is Americans’ top-ranked crime concern according to a recent Gallup poll.

Identity theft is the illegal use of someone else’s name, address, credit card number, or other personal information. For example, buying something using another person’s credit card number or taking money out of their bank account is identity theft.

Wi-fi has introduced a new opportunity for hackers.
This is because most wi-fi net-works are not covered by security software!
And computers typically have standard default settings that are common knowledge to most hackers, making it easy to get into your personal information.

To avoid having your computer overtaken through wi-fi networks, change the password on your wireless router. Passwords are often standard on routers, so replacing that password with your own is a great way to protect your computer from cyber attacks.
