why does identity theft pose more threat than all other cyber crimes?


what is your opinion on that?

Most "Cyber Crimes" only screw your pc up, maybe steal passwords, and can sometimes be stopped. ID theft poses a HUGE threat, the victim could suffer:

going 2 jail for crimes not commited

money stolen from them

Pretty much anything…

If you suffer from ID theft..ur F**KED!

Lead Management is a Key to Successfully Running Any Business


Let’s say that you have a business you believe is going to do better if you went ahead and put it on the internet. You believe that it’s worth investing in, so you pull out all the stops. You even get creative designers and such to ensure that it is user friendly and exciting enough to maintain customers’ interest and attention. You then go ahead and hire a marketing firm just to guarantee that you never get lost out there in the broad network of the World Wide Web.

So things are going very well. When you search for your company in your preferred search engine there it is, right at the very top of the results for your field of business. You click on it and things are as you hoped it would. But is just this enough, without good lead generation processes in place?

You may learn that you need some help with lead generation, because in essence you have no idea how many people are coming and going on your site, or whether or not they will be the right kind of people. With the Internet being as impersonal as it is, possible customers typically need a nudge in the right direction.

Perhaps some e-mails must be sent to people, explaining what they may need to know about your products or services. Or say somebody has a question, but you had no process in place to send the answer to them quickly enough and their interest dies out. What would you like to do now?

Lead generation will not only help you find out all you have to know about the traffic on your site, but it will also help you organize your customer database. In turn, it will help customer interest become clients won.

The Internet was created for instant gratification, so it’s critical that you don’t let your prospective consumers sit around waiting for you to get in touch with them. In all truthfulness, they can easily find another products provider that will respond to them more quickly than you.

There are many kinds of lead generation companies that will also provide you with the option to make use of their call center services. There is nothing like having an inquiry answered by a real, live person who knows what they’re talking about. This is better than using a standard form or a pre-recorded menu to answer customer questions.

Indeed, these call centers might also be on hand to handle your outbound calls too. This will show you are more serious and are actively contacting potential clients, which will generate more leads for you over time. Use lead generation to its fullest capacity and you’ll increase your business sales.

Executives know that great leads are managed through lead management software. There are many options for lead management available today, and the information to help you make the best decision.

Computer Security & Identity Theft Author/Speaker John Sileo

http://www.thinklikeaspy.com/audience_testimonials.php Identity theft speaker and expert John Sileo speaking on this video about protecting your computer from security breaches. The professional ID Theft speaker gives keynotes seminars and workshops on personal and business privacy.
According to a new article in the Wall Street Journal, cybercrime has significantly risen 22.3% in 2009 from 2008. Identity thieves and white collar criminals have taken to the internet and caused over $550 million in reported losses. There were also over 60,000 more complaints of cybercrime in 2009. Many experts say the plummeting economy is responsible for the great rise last year.

The article goes on to discuss the new and more technologically savvy way that criminals are stealing our information.

Criminals tactics also are changing, with a growing number of crimes involving malicious applications installed on mobile devices and embedded in news and celebrity gossip Web sites. In this type of crime, Web criminals are using search-engine optimization to allow fake Web sites to rise to the top of searches. When users click on the links or pop-ups, malware or key loggers infect their computers, usually with the intent of hijacking personal and financial information such as bank passwords and account information. Scam artists also are switching from email to social-networking sites to perpetrate phishing scams designed to steal sensitive information from victims.

Top scams now include nondelivery of ordered merchandise, fraudulent emails claiming to be from the FBI seeking personal and financial information, identity theft, credit-card fraud, online auction fraud, and job and investment scams. Online auction fraud, which was a top complaint in the past, has declined and losses have fallen as awareness and auction-site security protections have improved, officials said.

In order to minimize your risk, share as little personal and identifying information on the internet as possible. The less that is out there, the less there is to steal. Verify web addresses and dont click on unknown links or advertisements that come through on email and other sites. If you are the least bit suspicious dont enter financial information onto the site!
