Book excerpt: This e-book from the “Fraud and Identity Theft Collection” offers a variety of strategies and tips that are not typically found in other books within the same category. As an example, the following excerpt from the section "Security Tips" highlights the importance of updating your router to the WPA2 protocol for enhanced protection against hackers: “If your router is outdated and does not support WPA2, consider upgrading to a newer model. While WPA2 is not without flaws, when combined with a strong password, it provides the strongest defense against cyber-attacks." What is WPA2? It is encrypted security that protects internet traffic on a wireless network. What is the Philosophy of a Fraudster? (1) Always use a fake name. (2) Avoid meeting customers in person and instead use phone calls, emails, and faxes for all communication. (3) Pay for everything in cash. (4) To maintain anonymity, purchase the following: (a) A prepaid phone and create an online account using a fake name and address. (b) An inexpensive laptop and set up a fictitious email account. (c) Software to hide your IP address. (5) Never use your home internet; instead, use wireless cards for laptops and avoid using your real name or address to obtain it. (6) Be accessible but remain invisible.

Download or read book Identity Theft written by David A. May and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a relatively new crime, identity theft has dramatically increased in occurrence and severity since the early 1990s. By definition, identity theft is the obtainment and fraudulent use of another person's personal information, which can be relatively innocuous or much more serious. A talented criminal can take another individual's social security number, credit card information, checks, or other personal information, and use that information to impersonate the individual, manipulating a system that increasingly relies on nonpersonal identifiers. The political, legal, and criminal justice systems are struggling to catch up with the identity theft epidemic, while struggling with the technology that gives rise to it.
