Protect your personal information by shredding credit card offers, using a locked mailbox, and mailing envelopes inside the post office to reduce access to personal data. Install a firewall and virus protection software, do not respond to phishing emails, and use credit cards instead of debit cards when shopping online for internet and security safeguards. Beware of 'shoulder surfers' who may watch you enter your PIN with binoculars, and shield your hand during the process.
