Some one sent it to me this morning. Thought it may be of interest.

Be careful with your password
- Don't share your passwords or log-in details with anyone and avoid writing them down
- Try and use a different password each time you register with a website
- Change your passwords frequently
Don't give out personal details
- Ignore emails asking you to confirm your bank details, even if the sender claims to be from your bank
- If you buy something online, use a site with a secure payment system
- Never reply to emails asking for your personal details |

Good post kash!
And use multi-factor passwords too! Combination of letters/numbers when you can. Makes them harder to crack.

Thanks for posting that, kash. I do hope more people read it. Especially the part about the emails. They sure do make them look "real" from your bank or paypal or anyone like that, and they're not!
