Internet Security and Identity Theft
Last month I gave a talk on web security and identity theft to the Women on Campus group. While IT Services takes a number of steps to protect the Wabash community, each of us must do our part to protect our personal and College information.
The 2006 Identity Fraud Survey Report -- released by the Council of Better Business Bureaus and Javelin Strategy & Research -- estimates there were 8.9 victims of identity theft in 2006, for a total fraud amount of $56.6 billion. While identity theft is a big problem, there are a number of things you can do to stay safe online.
To help the Wabash community, we’ve created a one-stop resource on our web site. From tips to creating good passwords and detecting phishing scams, to links to government resources for reporting and recovering from identity theft, this page has something for everyone.

You have a great report on ID Theft and it is simlar to what we are trying to provide at The OSA Network it's a social utility that connects people who want to connect with others about online security issues. Most homes face the prospect of having some type of internet security breach whether it comes in the face of spam, id theft, pornography, cyber bullying, or issues with teenagers and social networking sites. The OSA Forum is the place to discuss these issues with other like minded people who share the same concerns.
