How to Protect Yourself Against Hackers
As you may be aware, one of my servers was recently hacked — and although I don’t want to alarm you, you should know that your sites could be subject to attack at any time.
To help you protect your sites and your data, I posted a new article “How to Protect Yourself Against Hackers” in which I share what happened to my sites and why.
More importantly, I tell you what I learned about how to defend your server, sites and computer against hackers.

Credit Card Scam Warning
I received this via email from an NPT reader and include it here as a warning about a credit card scam that seems to be getting more and more prevalent. I can confirm that these do exist, as a friend of mine was on the wrong end of such a call about 6 months ago.
Fortunately, she didn’t give out her information and did call the police.
This has been confirmed as legitimate so please take note this details are directly from the person this happened to at KCC.
This one is pretty slick since they provide Y O U with all the information, except the one piece they want. Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself.

Cool Keyboard Trick
I just learned this cool keyboard trick from Jeff Mulligan of CBMall that will save you a lot of typing when you surf the web.
Intead of typing in the http://www. before the domain name, and the .com after it, just type in the site’s domain name into the address bar. Then hit CTRL and ENTER keys together. This adds both the http://www. and the .com and works in both Internet Explorer and Firefox browser.
Go ahead, try it. Copy SuperAffiliateHandbook into your address bar now, then hit CTRL and ENTER together. Good stuff, eh?
