October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. This is a good time to remember to protect your computer and your network to prevent unauthorized usage of your personal info. While many people are solely concerned with the financial consequences of computer identity theft, this can be minor compared to the problem of criminal acts committed by someone who has already stolen your identity. While few people consider this problem when thinking about identity theft, it is a very real and unfortunate problem seen by many San Diego criminal attorneys.
Always keep yourself educated and aware of computer safety issues to prevent being victimized.
