Protecting yourself from being "Hijacked"

There are a number of ways that malicious users on the Internet can take control over (or hijack) any number of your communication mechanisms.

The main driver today is Identity Theft.

Your e-mail account(s), your browser, your MySpace or Facebook account or even your entire computer system can be hijacked in a moments notice if you aren't careful.

How they do it, why they do it and what you can do to protect yourself are the topics of discussion on this week's show.

Listen in as the Data Doctors get you up to speed on all the latest exploits and scam attempts that could leave you hijacked and helpless!

Join us every Saturday from 12:00–2:00PM on FM News/Talk 92.3 as we discuss your computer questions at: 602.277.5827 or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.
