Online Security: Gone Phishing, but not for Fish

According to CBS news, identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the nation. The FBI’s Internet Fraud division has seen a steady increase in complaints that involve some form of unsolicited e-mails directing consumers to phony “customer service” type websites—this is called "Spoofing," or "phishing."

One way to combat your security risks is by creating, many, and more complex passwords. The challenge however, is how to remember them all. I recently discovered a new online software application called,
PassPack, which enables you to manage and store all of your passwords safely and securely. The product is still in the beta stage, but worth checking out.
