SUDOKU CHALLENGE:
Did you know that wireless internet access is placing you at risk for identity theft, according to the US Department of Homeland Security? Add to that the fact the FBI has named identity theft as the fastest growing crime in America, if you use WiFi there are some things you should know.
Say you're at a coffee shop, hotel, or more likely, an airport. You set up your laptop and try to make a connection to a fr*ee WiFi hotspot - at least, the connection you chose said "Fr*ee WiFi." But unless you've taken precautions to avoid this scam, chances are good that, instead of directly connecting to the airport's wireless access hub, you have instead connected to a hacker's computer and your identity is now at risk.
You can't tell the difference at this point, because you do have Internet access. It's just that your access is coming by way of the hacker's computer, and your data stream - including your passwords, user names, etc. - is being logged by him. Any shared directories? He can access them as well. It's amazingly simple for a hacker to set up a fake "fr*ee" hotspot anywhere there are lots of unsuspecting people who want to get online without charge.
So how can you protect yourself?
QUICK TIPSI don't want to print the whole web page, just a part of one.
Is that possible?
Yes, and it's easy, too! Follow these steps:
- Just use your mouse to select the part you want to print.
- In your browser, click on File, then Print. Your Printer window will open.
- There will be a section in this window where you can choose the Page Range, or you can choose "Selection." Click the little circle next to "Selection"
- Click "Print."
The text you select has to be contiguous. If you want to be more selective, you can copy the text and paste it into a Word document, then edit that document prior to printing.
