Protect yourself from Cyber-Crime
Internet security, identity theft, Computer safety, Charles Jeter
Here is information on an important cyber-security free educational series done by my son (he has the P.I. license, the genius I.Q. and the computer instructional design job with ESET). Charles wrote the text and was on the PowerPoint production team, and it has been presented to the San Diego Chamber of Commerce and now to UCSD and other forums. We want to train as many people as possible about their own security, since id theft, for one thing, has escalated exponentially since last year. Your pc is a target.

The statistics about cybercrime and data breach are shocking.
.ESET, a local San Diego antivirus software company, recently started a not-for-profit grassroots educational effort to secure our San Diego eCity against this threat through education. It’s a Neighborhood Watch style educational program for the community targeted at preventing cybercrime.

We also give each attendee 12 things they can do right away to keep from being a victim, along with a how-to guide for creating easy to remember yet hard to crack passwords. The password guide was developed and donated by one of our security professionals who lives in the UK.
Check it out. If you happen to have some contacts whom you think could help us make a difference feel free to forward my email and contact information. I’ll follow up with you in a few days.
