No doubt you’ve heard news accounts about credit card and Social Security numbers being stolen, as well as the spread of e-mail viruses. It’s possible you may have been a victim yourself.

One of the best defenses is understanding the risks, what some of the basic terms mean, and what you can do to protect yourself against them.
