Be careful
#1
Everyday more and more people’s full personal details are available on the internet “black market”. It can be bought for about 20 euros. Big companies can less and less guarantee confidentiality to their clients.

certain websites which want you to enter your email may sometimes disclose your personal information

This is the spams' mission! To attract you, and if they can't they try to steal information about your ip, location etc. and consequently send a trojan to your computer and ramble your personal information
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

In order to avoid such things happen, a computer must be integrally protected by security softwares, antiviruses etc.
Sometimes firewalls can make your computer load longer, but instead you are safe

recently, on a bittorrent webpage I found FOR FREE the names and personal details about high officials from Moscow. This is a very good information for blackmailers.

it's ok when we speak about the officials' confidential information, 'cause most of them are corrupted and it wouldn't be bad if people know what cars they have, how many dwells etc.
But if a common citizen's information is revealed he may lose a lot of things, even if he is an honest and respectful citizen.

I don't know, but antiviruses don't always protect me against any virus. We have to install 2 or three of them in order to be protected indeed

oh come on Benn. This is not the only source you can catch a trojan or virus that would swallow the information from your computer. The files you download from any sites may not be secured. You never know unless you have a good antivirus software

I don't believe that it costs that cheap. Such info would cost thousands or even millions..

I once have been blackmailed by Nigerians scammers. This is because I probably filled a webpage that pop-upped in front of me and said I was the 1 million-the visitor of their website.

Remember not to give away your credit card information to anyone else, unless you're buying certain products through the phone or website! I bet we all don't want to be the next victim of identity theft...

Not even buying from websites makes you safe. Remember that there are a lot of phantom-websites which today may offer something to buy and when you do, the next day you find no sign of that site.

What did you mean when you wrote blackmailed?
I know abut Nigerian scams, but blackmailing...

Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public, a family member, or associates unless a demand made upon the victim is met.

Better install Linux and you will forget about all this nonsense with anti virus software.

set your browser not to allow pop-up windows. Pop-up windows are usually those having advertising/scamming purposes.

I can't really see any connection between electronic system frauds and credit cards. What did you mean? The Mac and Linux can only protect your computer data, and not credit cards data.
