Securely Surfing and Shopping on the Internet
Shopping is a whole new experience on the Internet. From the comfort of your own home, you can search for those hard-to-find items, compare prices between dozens of vendors, receive automated notices about special sales…all without having to search for a parking place or stand in long lines. While the advantages and opportunities are numerous, the Internet has unique risks, so it is important to take steps to protect yourself when shopping online. Whether attackers are enticing consumers into spending their money in an Internet auction, applying new technology to peddle traditional business opportunity scams or hijacking consumers' modems and cramming hefty long-distance charges onto their phone bills, scam artists are just a click away.
