Protection Measures

• If you see the little padlock in the corner of
  your Web-browser window (or if the Web address
  begins with "https//" instead of "http//"),
  you're connected to a secure Web site.
• sign up for encrypted e-mail services or
  programs,
• connect to your company over a VPN (virtual
  private networking) connection, which encrypts
  all data to and from your laptop.
• Wait to visit Web sites, or to send e-mail
  messages, of a delicate nature until you're on a
  wired connection or a private wireless one.
