How to make sure that hot spot is legit

August 29, 2006

hotspot.png

The techie smarties over at Grafdom have written up an excellent set of ten ways you can protect yourself at hot spots; here’s my favorite:

One of the latest hotspot scams is for someone to set up a hotspot themselves in a public location or cafe, and when you connect, steal your personal information, or ask you to type in sensitive information in order to log in. So before connecting at a hotspot, ask someone at the counter of the cafe the name of the hotspot, because someone may have set up another one, in the hopes of luring in the unwary.

Has this ever happened to you? What are some other ways you can make sure your favorite hot spot is too legit to quit? Thoughts to comments or to tips at lifehacker.com. — Wendy Boswell

Secure your home in a hurricane

hurricane.png

This week is the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and it’s also the beginning of hurricane season here in the States. The National Hurricane Center has an excellent write-up on how to secure your home for these mammoth storms:

The most important precaution you can take to reduce damage to your home and property is to protect the areas where wind can enter. According to recent wind technology research, it’s important to strengthen the exterior of your house so wind and debris do not tear large openings in it.

Areas covered are roofs, straps, shutters, doors, and garage doors; with detailed how-to’s for each section. — Wendy Boswell
