You got phished. Who's fault is it? Let's find out. In one corner is Evil Phisher and you are the opponent.
Round 1: Is your home wireless secure? Does it have a password on it? Do you use only "free" wireless spots that have a password provided to you??? Do you avoid anonymous hotspots? If you answered "Yes" to all, you survived round 1!
Round 2: Do you use your children's names as passwords? Do you use your birth date as a password? Do you use your address as a password? Do you have the same password for everything? If you answered "No" to all, you survived round 2!
Round 3: Do you use a secure email system such as a company-provided account or gmail? Do you delete emails asking for your username and password without responding? Do you logout of email systems on public computers or shared computers? Do you avoid emailing your passwords? Do you clean your cookies regularly? Do you do scans regularly? Is all your malware and virus protection up to date? If you answered "Yes" to all, then you survived round 3 and went the distance!
