Identity Theft and Firewall Hazards (Part 1)

Even though other computer security applications and firewalls are meant to protect your personal information, they are not foolproof. There are many bugs in your programs that can be exploited by hackers, since incomplete software programs don’t really protect every area of your computer. In some cases, the operator error makes it easy for hackers to get into a computer. One of the easiest ways for these hackers to circumvent a firewall or other security software is to slip dangerous codes into something that you want to download. It is impossible to be 100% protected, but you can still do something to protect your computerized information from identity theft.
