Hackers and identity theft is a very real cause for concern today and not something that you would normally associate with science fiction where all sorts of plots are always being hatched in order to rob people of their identities.
With the dawn of the Internet, today there is a real threat concerning hackers and identity theft which means that you must be on top of the situation at all times and be educated with regard to knowing how to prevent someone hacking your personal details and robbing you off your identity.
Advanced Techniques Of Stealing Your Identity
Today, hackers and identity theft are a very real threat and the advanced techniques being used make robbing you of your identity as simple as stealing candy from a child. Essentially, a hacker will find out your name, credit card number, Social Security number or other piece of vital information and then use it to perform illegal acts.
Unfortunately, even though you may have taken adequate steps to prevent hackers from stealing your identity, these may not prove to be effective enough and so it would pay for you to heed a few important tips with regard to hackers and identity theft.
First of all, you need to use a password that is not only unique, but which is not predictable and then use these obtuse passwords to protect your personal details including bank statements, credit card information as well as phone accounts.
Next, you need to also secure all of your personal details both in your office as well as at your home so that hackers cannot find these vital pieces of information and use them to rob you off your identity. Simple things such as locking personal information within a filing cabinet or safe can help you thwart hackers and identity theft. Also, you should pick up a new check book personally rather than have it mailed to you, and also, always secure your mailbox outside your home.
Other steps you need to take in order to thwart hackers and identity theft include never giving out personal details over the phone, through the mail or over the internet. Also, never carry your Social Security number in your wallet, and instead secure it away somewhere very safe. While using your computer, makes sure to use latest anti-virus protection and never click on suspicious links or emails which can spread viruses that can compromise both the security of your computer as well as steal your personal information.
Also, you should periodically check your Credit Report and in case you believe that hackers have stolen your identity, and then you need to report this immediately to the concerned authorities.

Social Network That Pays Members
Yuwie Social Network That Pays Members
Madness can be defined as a severe or mild mental disorder. But the Madness I'm posting about has another definition: The enthusiasm, excitement and with what vigor Yuwie is being embrased by just about everyone
How Yuwie Works
..The worlds first social networking website that pays it's users.
Yuwie is Facebook and My Space combined. You can access all types of information, contact friends, start groups, list events, posts announcements and much more. Yuwie was launched in June of 2007 and is expected to grow to huge numbers by late December.
MySpace alone makes millions of dollars every
month and who does all the work?
You Do!!!
How much did MySpace amd Facebook pay you last month? I thought so...zero....zip....nada...Right!
How would like to be paid for the very same things you do at Facebook and MySpace!
I don't know about you...but I sure like being paid for things I regularly do...and Yuwie is FREE!
Yuwie was right betting that people would be attracted to a Social Network that gave back by sharing a portion of their revenue with their subscribers.
It's easy join and get started:
You sign up just like you do for My Space or Facebook, Upload your pictures, choose a layout (there are so many to choose from), and create your profile. Once you do all the above (which is 100% free) you are now ready to start making money with Yuwie. You just go on doing the same thing you were doing before.
Yuwie gets paid by advertisers just like MySpace does but Yuwie shares a portion of the the money they earn with it's members.....and that's ME and YOU!
How Can Yuwie Pay You
Page views to your pages is money in Yuwie's pocket, that's the money Yuwie will share with you.When anyone views any of these pages, it counts as 1 page view for you:
1)your profile page
2)your blog pages
3)view all your friends
4)view all your comments
5)your picture pages
6)if someone views one of your shared layouts
When you view any of these pages, it counts as 1 page view.
Any of your control panel pages, including but not
limited to: settings, messaging, friends, referrals, favorites, etc.
The following do not count as a page view:
1)Refreshing/reloading a page
2)Any page that's viewed within 3 seconds of the last
page doesn't count
What counts as a hit? Whenever someone views any page for more than 3 seconds counts as a page view.View A Page For At Least 4-5 seconds to make sure it is counted.

Social Networking (Friendster)
Social networking websites
like Facebook and MySpace have been among the most successful business ventures
of recent years.
Facebook alone has 50 million members
worldwide and is now valued at £7.5bn.
Inevitably, imitators have sprung up with
variations on the theme, eager to tap into this lucrative market.
One such company is American networking site
Yuwie.com, whose unique selling point is that it promises to "share
wealth" with its members.
In what could be the first example of Social
networking meeting e-commerce, Yuwie''s founder Korry Rogers says he will give
members more than half of the site''s advertising revenue - just for logging on
and inviting their friends.
"The whole goal of Yuwie is for people
to get paid for what they''re doing already," he told the BBC News website.
Mr Rogers, 33, says some of
Yuwie''s members are earning between £200 and £250 a month, although payments
"fluctuate".
"Yuwie users get paid every time they
log on, send a message, upload a picture or invite someone to join."
"If someone only refers three of their
friends, who refer three of their friends through 10 levels, that one person
will collect a percentage of advertising revenues from about 88,000 end-users,
which could be about $8,800 <£4,427> per month for that person."
Pyramid scheme
Some say this is little more than a
technological version of the reviled pyramid scheme.
However, Mr Rogers, a web designer from Oklahoma, disputes this
because he says he does not charge his members, unlike traditional pyramid
schemes.
He insists he does not want
people to join Yuwie just to make money.
"I want people to join because it''s a
good networking site not because I''m paying them.
"I just think it''s a cool idea to pay
the users who are providing all the content," he says.
The site is certainly proving popular for
those who do not mind lots of pop-ups and flashy graphics.
Yuwie users apparently love adverts, though,
because "they know they will share in the revenue".
Since launching in July, Yuwie already has
344,444 registered members, with nearly 50,000 joining in December alone.
Yuwie is now ranked among one of the top
2,500 websites in the world, according to alexa.com, which tracks web traffic.
So can we really make money from the details
that we share so freely at the moment?
And is this a logical
evolution for social networking sites, who have made enormous strides this
year, but may struggle to keep the momentum next year?
Analyst Steve Prentice, chief researcher at
technology consultants Gartner''s, thinks not.
He cites the example of Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg, who was recently criticised after introducing an unpopular
advertising system, Beacon, which "shares'''' details of users'' purchases on
partner websites.
Mr Prentice says the majority of users of
social networking sites are not motivated by a desire to make money but to connect
with and make new friends.
He says: "It seems to be counter to the
philosophy of these social sites. They are about belonging and reflecting an
individual''s community.
"The idea of making what is,
essentially, a few fractions of a cent out of your friends would sit
uncomfortably.
"My guess is that people would react
quite angrily because they value their privacy very highly.
"There are a lot of individuals on
social networking sites who have an antipathy towards commercial enterprise and
it''s possible to get it very badly wrong.
"People can migrate very quickly to a
site but can vote with their virtual feet very quickly, if a site is against
their ethos."
''Potential abuse''
Mr Prentice also warns potential users to
remember that, once money starts changing hands, they could attract the
attention of Inland Revenue, FSA and other regulatory bodies.
More importantly, he believes sites like
Yuwie coueputable business model" because
of the "potential" to abuse the system.
"As soon as you have a situation where
you are paying people to join, then you have potential abuse, with people
manipulating search engines or paying someone to view their page.
"Then problems might arise regarding
spamming and it very quickly becomes a non- reputable business model," he
says.
Mr Rogers admits Yuwie has suffered in the
past from people using scripts and programmes to falsely inflate the number of
page views they got.
He insists it now has strict measures in
place to stop people abusing the page view system.
Mr Prentice says it is also important to make
a distinction from sites such as You Tube and Revver, which recently announced
they would financially compensate users who produce and upload content.
"Cases like You Tube are different as
they are about creation.
"You Tube is going to make money out of
the video that person has created and uploaded, so it makes sense that they
share in the profit.
"In this case, it is a reward for effort
and creativity - as long as it doesn''t infringe copyright - and that is within
their ethos.
"I don''t think the same thing would
appeal to Facebook''s core users."
If you've been one of those watching and waiting, now that my testing phase is over and the real growth is just begining, it's time to take ACTION and join by clicking the banner at the bottom of this page.
