Are you the victim of identity theft? According to Joanna Crane from the Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Program, 80% of victims who call the FTC says they have no idea how this happens.
In addition, an FTC survey reported that 4.6% of those polled reported that they have become victims of identity theft in the past year. In addition, in accordance with the new General Accounting Office report, it is estimated that as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft each year.

Of 3.Principle Least Privileges
This is especially important if you run a program as root for each part of the runtime. When possible, a program should drop any rights it does not need to, and use the right level for only those operations that require them. This example is a Postfix mail, which has a modular design that allows the parts that require root access to run a special part of who do not. This form of separation of the right to reduce the number of road that leads to the root, and enhance security throughout the system because some of their routes that remain to be analyzed critical security issues.
4.Don ‘t Festival
A race condition in the situation where a program to do an operation in several steps, and the attacker has a chance to catch it between the steps and change the system state. Example of a program that will check the file permissions, and then open the file. Between permission status check () call and open the file fopen () call an attacker can change the file opened by the name of another file with the original file name. To prevent this, fopen () file first, and then use the fstat (), which carry information file, not the file name. Since the file information always refer to a file opened with fopen (), although the name of the file and then change, then the fstat () akan akan check guaranteed rights of access to the same file. Many race conditions, and there are many ways to prevent them by carefully choosing the framework of the implementation of certain functions.
Error handlers 5.Register
Supports many languages the concept of function that can be called when an error is detected, or a more flexible concept of exceptions. Use this to catch the unexpected and to return to a safe condition in the code, rather than blindly forward with the expectation that the user input will not crash the program, or worse!

1. Input Checking
Always check the user input to ensure that what is expected. Make sure that does not contain characters or other data that can be treated in a special way by the program or the program which is called by program.This often involve characters such as checking quotes, and check the input characters are not like ordinary non – character text string that is expected. Often, this is a sign of an attack is to try several types.
Checking 2.Range
Always check when copying data range, to allocate memory or perform any operation that could potentially overflow. Some programming languages provide a variety of containers checked-access (such as std:: vector:: at () in C + +, but many programmers insist the use of unchecked array index [] notation. In addition, the use of functions such as strcpy () should be avoided in preference to strncpy (), which allows you to specify the maximum number of characters to copy. similar version functions like snprintf () compared to sprintf () and fgets () obtained from () provides the equivalent length-of-buffer specification. The use of function all the code you need to prevent buffer overflows. Even if you are the characters in the string program, and you can go with strcpy () because you know the length of the string, that does not mean to say that you, or others, will not change anything in the future and allows the string that will be specified in the configuration file, the command line, or directly from user input. The way to reach in the habit of checking everything-must prevent a large number of security vulnerabilities in software.

Error # 4: Easy to remember English words
Easy to remember are also easy to guess. Password should not contain English words found in the dictionary. Non-English word or words in the dictionary is also high risk. And, for goodness sakes, if your password is “password” or “test” then it’s a wonder you have not been hacked yet!
Error # 5: Numbers are no-no’s.
Seriously, stay away from birthdays, anniversaries, addresses, social security number or phone number. They are all too easy to guess.
Choose a random password for banking sites such as PayPal. Combine letters (both uppercase and lowercase) and numbers.
If all this sounds too hard to remember, then consider using a password program. Most of the good password program will not only save your password on your computer, but they will be completely random password when you need it.
Here are some to try.

Do you make yourself a target for fraud? More and more often I hear stories from people who have hacked your account. They have the money stolen, lost sleep, spent hours setting up new accounts, get credit or damaged. Do not let this happen to you.
Will you make a mistake this dangerous?
Error # 1: Using the same password for all accounts.
Do not do this. Use a different password for each email account, and password you use for a unique shopping website where you enter your credit card.
Error # 2: Short password
The risk of someone guessing the password the more difficult the more characters in it. So, go and spirit to make your old password.
Error # 3: BradPitt, Charlie, Sarah, Princess, Barbie, Gandolf – Did I guess it yet?
Children do not use your name, pet name, nickname, names of characters in books or movies or celebrity names. Even if I do not have the list, someone that you can know.
