Security Threats

My biggest fear for a security threat would identity theft.  I try to be careful to update software and I do have a good security program installed.  I thought I had a strong password but after reading the information for this "thing" I am sure I do not.  I guess Mad Eye Moody's phrase "constant vigilance" is important in the computer world as well as the magical world.  Here at my library, I do updates on the PA computers once a week and do security scans once a week as well.

Pfishing was a new term for me.  I had heard it but did not know what it was.  I also did not know the importance of the yellow padlocks in Internet Explorer but now I will watch for those much more closely.
