Outsmart Fraudsters and Protect Your Identity


Introduction

Navigating the digital landscape can be daunting, especially for small business owners vulnerable to identity theft. One major challenge arises from the WHOIS database, which allows anyone to access the personal information used when purchasing a domain name.

Understanding the Risks

The moment you buy a domain, your information becomes accessible, often leading to a barrage of unsolicited calls from marketers claiming they can boost your search engine rankings. Beware: these companies often employ risky, black hat SEO tactics that can get your site banned.

Guarding Your Privacy

- Remain Anonymous: Use a business name that directs inquiries to a PO box. This frustrates fraudsters and can lead to legal repercussions if they misuse the information.
- Form Filling: Avoid entering real details in online forms. Using vague or incorrect prefixes can help protect your identity.

Secure Your Passwords

Everyone is aware of spyware's threats, but few realize it can exploit the “save information” functions on your devices. Always avoid saving passwords in drop-down prompts and ensure your sensitive data is secure.

Protect Your PC

Ensure your website and PC are fortified with:
- Firewall, Spyware, and Malware Cleaners: These are essential for any online presence. Tools like AVG provide comprehensive virus and malware protection.
- Additional Tools: Yahoo's spyware remover and Lavasoft's protection offer robust security.
- Firewall Options: While Windows includes a default firewall, many prefer using ZoneAlarm for enhanced security.

Secure Web Information

- Contact Info: Save contact details in a GIF image to hide them from spyware.
- Email Protection: Encrypt your email or format it with spaces, like: smallbusinessowner @mydomainname.com. This prevents easy access by hackers.
- Use Forms: Instead of displaying your email, implement forms on your site. These can send messages directly to you without revealing your address to potential threats.

Regular Maintenance

Change your passwords every two to three months to ensure continued security.

By taking these precautions, you can protect your identity and maintain your business's integrity in the face of digital threats.
