Bust a cap in a Hacker: How to protect online accounts from Hackers!

By Briana Booker

Financial fraud online is becoming a bigger issue as our technology gets more and more advanced! It is based upon us not taking enough basic precautions to not be victims to perpetrators. This morning someone tried to hack into one of my online accounts! It only takes one easy opening for a hacker to make you vulnerable and cause numerous financial and social destruction for you!

Here below are some measurements you should take to protect yourself from online account hacking:

• Make sure when you are at an ATM machine you cover your hand completely! Metal on the ATM can reflect your hand. It is like the bank is setting you up to get robbed. Cover your hand with your body! Professional hackers often watch you at the ATM machine to hack your pin number.

• Look around your surroundings. You have eyes for a reason. I rather look and be rude than be harmed. It only takes one effort to get your information

• Use different passwords for each and everyone of your online accounts. I do this with my email accounts and everything i use online! I think this is the reason the person had a hard time hacking my account! Thank  goodness for Google! They show you last IP address log in as well as send you notifications when someone tries to retrieve your password! I always send a reset to an account i do not use for anything, just in case.

• Do not be a simpleton. Never set your password as anything too obvious! No birthdays, no street address, no social security numbers...nothing personal. Those are the first materials hackers use! And all are easy to obtain with a quick engine search.

• Use characters people would least expect in a password. Mix upper and lowercase letters, shift-number keys, NEVER SPELL WORDS! It works like a charm!

• Protect and check your credit reports and bank accounts every couple of weeks!  AAA offers this with membership! I hear American Express has a great program as well!

•  When an error message happens when you try to make online payments or log in a social network, close the web page and log in as normal. Do not enter it on the log in error screen! And always look for bad English! Do not be a victim!

I hope this is useful!

Google Buzz: What's your buzz on it?

Will google buzz be the next big social connector? Let us know your thoughts! 


So far, Fromgirltogirl loves it! Close to email, easy to find contacts, easy to distinguish private versus private information! And best of all, easy to filter through tons of data! We think it is a must have! Check out the google presentation below:







P.s- It is mobile! And yes, it is amazing as a mobile device. We are sure 6 months top it will blow twitter out of the water...video, photos, business connections... awesome! :-)

The next hot social connector: Foursquare!

It is official! The new hot social connector is growing, and it's called foursquare! What is foursquare? Foursquare is a social network that allows you to get the best deals in town for restaurants and all the hot spots in your area! This comes especially handy when you want a day or night on the town with your friends or a hot date, yet you have no idea what to do! In addition to telling you where the hottest spots are in town, foursquare will list the closest friends to you nearby! Amazing! And similar to Twitter and Facebook networking you can keep your friends posted by the seconds and minutes!


We recommend adding the application to your Iphones and Google Android! And even if you don't have a smart phone or web browser you can still keep up with foursquare on the go, with a free foursquare membership account!

Not to mention, you can give your friends reviews on the places you go and you can make traveling a game! Some places give out free food and items to people who visit their cafe, restaurants and clubs the most! This title is called Mayor and there are plenty of other fun titles along the way, the more you use foursquare!

Join in the fun! We will!
