Identity theft isnt that big of a scare. If anyone whom has any self motivation and your intelligent to be reading this forum to begin with....you can easily prevent someone from stealing your idenity ie. keep up with your sh*t, dont go nosing around on goofy websites, dont order stuff from any oddball
jo-schmo website, and simply if you dont want it "out there" dont put it up for display. etc.........and simply keep an eye out on your accounts. One other tip is to stay with VISA they are more secure than most. Encryption is a safe bet..........but keep in mind its not fool proof. I consider the USB ( i carry one myself for personal, work, business. etc..) like my wallet-dont lose it, and if you do, you better be ready to know the appropriate resources shut down your accounts, and stabalize all of your loose ends securily.
Also, if a computer is so old that it dosent have any usb ports at all ..............well its probably not the one your gonna be depending on to retrieve those special documents anyway. One last thing... if it has a USB port, it probably has plug and play.
