I'm sure lots of personal information can be gained from IP addys.
ps I do like this new techy section  |
I do a lot of internet banking & as some of my family is overseas use a lot of online shopping, etc for presents (Amazon, etc). Stick to the big companies and get a good firewall for home (eg Nortons). I (so far) haven't had any problems.
If you don't want to be "identity thefted" keep all documents secure, in particular anything that can be used as identity proof. Shred old bills, etc.
It's all common sense.
