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 Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on
Facebook
or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the
ask a question page.
Original Air Dates: Apr 26, 2008 / Apr 27, 2008
