- I monitor my credit card and bank statements every month
- I use strong passwords with a combination of letters and numbers
- I use antivirus software and a personal firewall on all of our computers

Great tips. We follow all of those tips, and so far so good!
These are all great tips!
People need to remember to NOT store their passwords where someone could get a hold of them and try to not use the same password for everything too!
Great tips. We do the same here. We had our credit card numbers stolen a few years ago and it was such an incredible hassle. It took many months before things were back to normal. BTW, now we also have a second password attached to all of our credit cards.
I've had credit cards compromised and my companies were good about handling it for me, but it was terribly worrisome and aggravating.
Never knew about turning off wifi and even computer when it's not in use. Such good tips.
