By far, my most popular post has been the one titled “How to Find My SSID” so it is obviously a topic on people’s minds. Well we will talk wireless as we enter in to this weekend just prior to Thanksgiving. I won’t repeat myself totally, so if you want more information on wireless and computer security, you can read my previous posts.
This is probably a good time to talk about wireless with the Holiday Season is upon us. A few years back, TJ Maxx had what has now been reported at over 94 million personal records being stolen. Well almost 3 years later, many retailers have not done enough to secure the wireless security and is putting YOU at risk. A company called Security Sweep who does wi-fi penetration testing for companies, did a study in what type of security is in place. They found a whopping 85% of retailers have little or no security at all. Click here to read the whole story. Makes you wonder what to do with your Christmas shopping. This argument may make you think more before you whip that plastic card down.
Here is another helpful hint if you do shopping online for Christmas. Apply for a credit card that you will use only for your online shopping. Have your financial institution only set a low limit. Maybe $300. You just have to ask for a low limit credit card. Use this only when making purchases online and then you can spot inconsistency’s on your bill each month. This low limit will minimize the losses that can be run up.
Review some of my tips we reviewed in other posts from my blog here on WordPress.
Hey, the KU Jayhawks play in a big home game tomorrow against the Iowa Stae Cyclones. They will hopefully come out strong and do what is expected. KU football has totally impressed me this year. All must say this has really been a strange season with all the teams who you normally see there getting beat. Well the dream stays alive tomorrow.
My beloved KC Chiefs will probably get a can of “whoop ass” opened up on them Sunday at Indy. I’d say they are mad they have lost 2 games in a row. With our change to a new QB, no LJ, and no O Line , it will be a LONG day.
That is it for now, so stay save and have a great weekend!!
