Words from the Wise

• Janet Reno: Everybody should want to make sure that we have the cyber tools necessary to investigate cyber-crimes, and to be prepared to defend against them and to bring people to justice who commit it.
• Kevin Mitnick: Somebody could send you an office document or a PDF file, and as soon as you open it, it’s a booby trap and the hacker has complete control of your computer. Another major problem is password management. People use the same password on multiple sites, so when the hacker compromises one site, they have your password for everywhere else.
• Frank Abagnale: The police can’t protect consumers. People need to be more aware and educated about identity theft. You need to be a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter and there’s nothing wrong with being skeptical. We live in a time when if you make it easy for someone to steal from you, someone will
