What are the questions I need to ask when conducting a personal security analysis?

12-24-09 | Katie | No Comments

When you are conducting a personal data security analysis you need to look at some basic questions:

* What information is freely available to the public?
* Is this information enough for someone else to pose as me?
* Am I giving away critical data like my employer, banking, or demographic data?
* Would I feel uneasy with a stranger knowing this about me?

Once you have answered these you will know if you are giving away too much.

Consider All Your Profiles When You Do Security Analysis

12-24-09 | Katie | No Comments

When you look at the security of one of your online profiles it is practical to look at each one individually but you need to consider them on the whole.

A person who is looking to steal your identity will not limit themselves to just one site.  They will use any and all available information to get what is yours.  That means in order to prevent your ID from being stolen you need to look at things on the whole.

What should you look for?  The same things you look for in each individual site.
