This year, I have spent a good deal of time considering security issues. You may not realize this, but once you make the decision to become an Internet marketer you expose yourself to a number of nuisances and potential criminal activity on the Internet.
The nuisances include things such as spam, viruses, hacking attempts, phishing, etc. The criminal activity that most concerns me is identity theft and the fraudulent use of my personal information.
These pitfalls are not a reason to avoid the Internet, however. You simply need to be informed and take appropriate precautions to protect yourself.
