Beat the Cyber Hackers

I received this some good information today from Quickbooks:

A message from Frank Abagnale, Intuit Partner and Fraud Expert

As a consultant to the FBI for over 4 decades, I've seen how criminals target businesses. In fact, small and medium-size businesses are hit by nearly two-thirds of all cyber attacks — about 4,000 a day! Intuit asked me to share my top 5 tips for protecting your business. Here they are: 1. Use a firewall to block hackers from accessing your computer. 2. Don't put your birth date and birthplace on Facebook. 3. Pick unique passwords with 8 to 14 characters and don't reuse them. 4. Don't use debit cards for purchases; use credit cards instead. 5. Use up-to-date software because hackers look for vulnerabilities in older software to gain access to your system. Thanks for choosing QuickBooks and stay safe. Frank started consulting for the FBI in 1974, after serving time for various fraud schemes. He's become one of the nation's leading experts on fraud and helped develop programs to counter cybercrime. His life story inspired the Academy Award-nominated film, Catch Me If You Can.
