These are the known facts: The Dubai police claim that 26 visitors entered and exited the emirate over the past year on false British, Irish, Australian, German and French passports. Some or all were involved in the assassination of senior Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who also entered Dubai under a false identity. The Dubai police chief has accused the Mossad of the January 19 hit. He has presented no proof, but more than half of the fake passports in Dubai bore the names of Israelis.

The European Union and the countries whose passports were counterfeited have criticized the misuse of their identity documents without mentioning the names of those responsible. French President Nicolas Sarkozy termed the assassination utterly unjustified – “nothing more than a murder.” Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in Mabhouh’s killing or in falsifying the documents, but former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Dan Halutz said that such actions attributed to Israel “deter terror organizations.”

It is unclear whether terrorist groups are more deterred than in the past. What is clear is that the plot is thickening as more suspects are uncovered. If the claims of Israel’s responsibility are correct, what appears to be cumulative damage is getting worse…..

Did Mabhouh’s assassination justify taking such a risk? Was there negligence or contempt for the adversary on the part of the planners, the commanders and those who approved the operation (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to foreign reports)? Were other operations compromised, that were even more essential than the killing of a Hamas weapons smuggler? Is criticism by countries whose passports were falsified just for the record, or will it limit operatives’ freedom of action in other hits? Will the affair increase Israel’s international isolation and present it once again as a lawless state?

If foreign reports are true about Israel’s responsibility for the Mabhouh hit and the forged passports, then a thorough clarification is warranted, which can lead to conclusions about both organizations and individuals. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1152509.html

AUSTRALIAN authorities had already warned Israeli intelligence against using doctored passports in its clandestine activities around the world, the newspaper The Australian reported on Thursday.

The Australian report came as Canberra warned Israel earlier Thursday that if it was involved in the alleged use of three forged Australian passports in the assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai, it would not be considered the act of a friend…..

According to sources quoted in the article, Australian authorities approached Israel in the 1990s to seek assurances that Australian passports would not be used in Mossad activities after it was feared Israeli agents had doctored New Zealand passports.

During that meeting, the article claims, the Israelis said they condoned such identity theft, with Australian participants describing their response as “enraged self-righteousness.”

The Australian foreign minister at the time, Alexander Downer, confirmed to The Australian that the then Canberra government warned Israel in at least one occasion not to issue fake Australian passports to its intelligence operatives….. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1152161.html

These tips could help to protect you:

1.Shred sensitive information. Shred financial statements, offers of loans and credit cards, catalogue account details or anything else that could be used to impersonate you before binning them. Thieves go through rubbish to see if there is anything useful – a practice known as bin raiding.

2.Check your statements carefully. Go through your credit card and bank statements every month. Unexpected entries can be the first indication that somebody is stealing your money.

3.Learn to love your credit report. Your credit report is such an effective tool in the fight against ID fraud that the government recommends regular checks to protect yourself. It gives you a snapshot of your borrowings and repayment record, so you can easily spot unfamiliar accounts and suspicious balances. You can see your Experian credit report online with a free trial of CreditExpert, the UK’s leading online credit monitoring and ID fraud protection service.

4.Limit your social networking. It’s tempting to include basic information such as your full name and date of birth in your profile, then add interesting details such as your pets’ or children’s names and nicknames. Don’t – these are the kind of detail that you probably use for passwords and PINs, so leave them out. Your cyber-friends might be fraudsters looking for enough data to steal your ID.

5.Don’t risk important documents. Don’t carry your passport, driving licence or even credit cards unless you know you’ll need them and never write down your PINs and passwords. If your bag or wallet is stolen, you could be handing the thieves your identity as well as your cash.

6.Report thefts. Always tell the police, your bank, credit card issuers and anybody else who might be affected if you suffer a theft. That way, your loss is on the record and organisations who might be approached by the thieves will be forewarned.

7.Keep an eye on your post. If mail goes missing, tell the Post Office immediately – someone may be intercepting it, especially if you live in a building with a communal hall where mail is delivered. Be especially careful when you move house and use the Royal Mail’s Redirection Service to forward your post to your new address for at least a year.

8.Register to vote at your current address. Lenders use the electoral roll to check that you live where you say you do. If you’re not registered, a criminal could register you at another address. When you move home, always deregister at your old address and re-register at the new one. That way, the people who move into your previous home can’t offer apparent proof that they are you.

9.Don’t respond to cold calls and e-mails. Never reply to e-mails and cold-callers asking for details such as PINs, passwords and account numbers – and don’t fill in your details on any unfamiliar e-mail or website. Telephone the organisation that is allegedly behind the approach, using the number in the phone book or in previous correspondence – and warn them what is happening.

10.Keep on checking your credit report. You need to check your credit report regularly, because ID thieves could target you at any time. CreditExpert sends out weekly alerts by e-mail or text to warn you if there has been any significant change to your credit report, so you can log on immediately and see whether you are being impersonated. Always respond to these alerts – they give invaluable peace of mind.

I think you have covered just about every base there is to cover…….

The only thing that I would add, is ‘Use common sense, if it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t……"

Thanks for the tips and education for preventing identity fraud!!!

First of all, spyware is any software that records any information, and then reports back to a third party. This can be helpful if you are a parent or a boss, and want to monitor computer activity. This can be a real pain when the spyware was installed by somebody intending to collect information to help their marketing efforts. In the first case, it’s obvious where the spyware came from. But what about the second case?

Spyware comes from three basic sources. One of the main sources is through free downloaded software. A developer that makes a software program can still make money enough though they give it away for free. The program comes with software that collects information, and if useful information is collected, the program developer can get paid. Applications for your desktop, dubious file sharing software to download music and movies, and various other “free” software usually come with a hidden price. Be careful what you download.

Another source of spyware is through email attachments. These are called “Trojan horses,” after the Greeks who used a big wooden horse to sneak into Troy and kill everybody. Unless you personally know the person sending you an email, be extremely careful when clicking on any attachment.

The third major source of spyware is certain web sites that install software simply by visiting the site. Be extremely careful of clicking on any links that you don’t recognize. Despite browser developers that continuously update their systems to protect against such occurrences, they are still sometimes behind the curve, and you are still in danger by clicking on links that you don’t recognize.

The best way to guard against spyware is to have a robust anti spyware software on your system that can both scan for and remove software, as well as protect against it being installed in the first place. While there are several free programs, often times they aren’t up to date enough to protect against the most recent spyware developments. For a modest fee, you can easily and effectively protect your system from any and all invasions by third party spyware.

It looks good, but I, like everyone else looking through this category, are not experts. This Category is Computer Security, you might want to re-ask the question in a different category, because you won’t get any good answers here.
