IT Security Tip #4: Bookmark the LEGITIMATE websites you frequently visit

Quick Tip: Create a bookmark for the websites you visit often

Why: Here’s a sneaky trick used by many hackers: They purchase and set up a fraudulent website that is a close misspelling of a legitimate one. Example: "www.faceboook.com" instead of "www.facebook.com". All you have to do is accidentally fat-finger ONE letter in the URL and up pops a very legitimate-looking, fake copy of the site you were trying to get to--and the login and links are full of key-logger malware and virus landmines waiting for you to click on them. This is particularly important for any social networks you belong to.
