WIFI, a wireless way to connect to high speed internet, is becoming very popular, and is now available at 20,000 hotspots in the United States. A warning has been reported in USA Today, however, stating that when something on the Internet becomes commonplace, the criminal activity is not far behind. If you are using WIFI on the road or at your place of work, hackers can be poaching your information if you do not have a firewall set up. If someone tries to encroach on your computer, a firewall pushes the hacker out and does not allow the person to enter your computer. The key to using WIFI is to make sure you have a firewall. An extra precaution is that when you are using WIFI at an Internet hotspot then you should not go to financial websites. If you don’t have a firewall then you are vulnerable to having your information and passwords hacked. Protect your information! A Washington Post report said that spam is about to become a major problem because scamsters have figured out how to hijack your Internet Service Provider, and they will now send out more Spam then ever. We will have to wait and see if the rumors come true.
