  • When checking out of a store where there is a line, keep your body between you and the person behind you to keep your information confidential.
  • Don't turn in hotel card keys - take them home with you when you check out.
  • Check your credit report annually.
  • Don't shop online from an unknown website unless you go through established sites to get there.
  • Secure your WiFi

Ask the Professor - Cecile Bendavid

Cecile Bendavid

 
Professor of Computer Science, California State University Northridge and Director of New Business Development for CEO Computers.   

Q. What is the easiest way to backup my data?

A.  Backing up data is important and easily done if you purchase an external backup drive.  It is a small investment that can give you piece of mind that all your data will be secure.  Most drives come with easy-to-install software that can be set to backup data automatically.  Call CEO if you need more information or want help with an external drive.

 
I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter and will contribute to future issues.
