Tips for Laptop Security

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:49:57 -0500

Laptops and Netboooks are vulnerable and breakable. Both of them need utter care. Safety of them is a prime concern for all the netbook and laptop users. Laptop Theft can be devastating to the individual user and any company that may have important information on the machine to a degree that far exceeds the simple monetary value of the laptop. One of the prevalent areas of computer crimes involves the theft of laptop computers. The FBI’s commissioned study of computer crime shows that the theft of notebook computers is the most common problem in computer crime. Criminals look at laptops as a good return on their “investment”. A criminal can sell a stolen laptop to an unsuspecting used computer store or pawnshop and easily receive up to half its value in cash. Not too bad when you compare that to the amount of cash a thief would get by targeting your wallet. People are the weakest link in the security chain. If you care about your laptop and your data, a healthy dose of paranoia will help keep it safe. **End Summary** Topics: Laptop Storage]]> Storage Cupboards]]> Netbook Storage]]> Secure Storage]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Freelance writer.
