Protecting yourself from Identity Theft

Today I received a call from a company that wants to help me protect my identity.

That got me to thinking, what can I do to protect myself,

  • check my credit reports with the big three:
  • shred any paperwork that has sensitive information
  • make sure I get the mail from my mailbox in a timely fashion
  • only mail bills from the post office or other secure mailbox

Also I can freeze my credit report so no one but me can authorize new credit.

The cost associated with each item listed above varies by state and credit agency. It may be a fair amount work for someone to do, but it seems feasible.

lightblog local file inclusion vulnerability

I noticed some hits in my server log for this exploit ( "view_member.php?username=../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00" ). Looks like folks are looking for un-patched servers. So if you are using Lightblog, it is probably a good time to patch your install. I saw that versions 9.6 & 9.8 were affected by this exploit. So you might need to check out version 9.9.2.
