A CompUSA survey of US college students
\n* 88% keep on their computer desk tops and laptops the kind of info that could get their identity stolen if that computer was stolen or broken into
\n* 41% ignorant of the concept of phishing
\n* 21% had been tempted to give personal private info to web sites where they unsure of the security or of the source of the request for their personal data
\n* 9% had already responded to phishing e-mails<\/p>\n
There was an incident with Stanford’s Axess system, where a student’s
\naccount was cracked, then someone else opened credit in the student’s name,
\nintercepting that student’s money. That case has been solved.<\/p>\n
> Increased cases of identity theft have led the Office of the Inspector
\n> General at the U.S. Department of Education to establish a Web site,
\n> [url=http:\/\/www.ed.gov\/misused,]www.ed.gov\/misused,[\/url] dedicated to informing students and parents about
\n> identity theft. Victims of identity theft can contact the Office of the
\n> Inspector General’s Identity Theft hotline at 1-800-MIS-USED.
\n> Additionally, the Stanford Residential Computing Security Web site is
\n> available at [url=http:\/\/rescomp.stanford.edu\/info\/security]http:\/\/rescomp.stanford.edu\/info\/security[\/url]<\/p>\n
Should students have billing sent home, rather than to a school address
\nwhose mail system may be less secure?
\nAre cell phones locked up when not being used?
\nHow often do you change passwords, PIN#s?
\nDo you know how your financial institutions contact you, so you can
\nrecognize a fraudulent contact?
\nDo you know which institutions are brain dead on security, so you should
\navoid doing business with them at all?<\/p>\n
