Martin Fragale Releases Blog Post Warning Online Shoppers To Be Careful With Website Purchases
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) November 29, 2013 -- While tracking of personal web preferences using third-part cookies has become a common occurrence, Martin D. Fragale Investigations is urging diligence on the part of private citizens when it comes to how their personal data is being accessed and used.
In 2012, a major online retailer became the first of many traditional retailers who offer Wi-Fi access to use that access to look at what their patrons are searching for on-line while in their stores. Wi-Fi networks can be hacked and if the person offering the wireless access can view what their patrons are viewing, so can any hacker who is looking for an identity-theft opportunity or worse. The team at Martin D. Fragale Investigations is not discouraging the use of web-enabled phones and other portable devices completely but they do stress that people need to be aware that a Wi-Fi network does not offer a guarantee of secure web access. So, if there is an option of using a public Wi-fi network or using the data plan one is paying for then for the sake of better secure access people should use the data plan they pay for or they could pay even more in terms of identity theft damage later on.
