Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online
Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.
The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And that number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized.
Identity theft is "an absolute epidemic," states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. "It's certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It's worldwide. It affects everybody, and there's very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can't detect it until it's probably too late."
Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims' names. In many cases, a victim's losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible.
According to the FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud committed on the Internet. So how do job seekers protect themselves while continuing to circulate their resumes online? The key to a successful online job search is learning to manage the risks. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the Internet.
1. Check for a privacy policy.
If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site you are considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder.com. The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors(推销员).
When reviewing the site's privacy policy, you'll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You won't necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job. Remember, the longer your resume remains posted on a job board, the more exposure, both positive and not-so-positive, it will receive.
2. Take advantage of site features.
Lawful job search sites offer levels of privacy protection. Before posting your resume, carefully consider your job search objectives and the level of risk you are willing to assume.
CareerBuilder.com, for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible.
The second is anonymous (匿名的) posting. This allows job seekers the same visibility as those in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to share some other information may choose which pieces of contact information to dis

The third is private posting. This option allows a job seeker to post aresume without having it searched by employers. Private posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily applyfor jobs that appear on CareerBuilder.com without retyping their information.
H)Safeguard your identity. Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using theIntemet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier, such as "Intranet Developer Candidate", or "Experienced Marketing Representative". Youshould also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your title, itmay not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use ageneral description of the company such as "Major auto manufacturer," or "international packaged goodssupplier." If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent instead of the exact title assigned byyour employer.
I)Establish an email address for your search. Another way to protect your privacy while seeking employmentonline is to open up an email account specifically for your online job search. This will safeguard your existingemail box in the event someone you don't know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others.Using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receiveunwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn'tcontain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is anemail address that is relevant to the job you are seeking such as salesmgr2004@provider.com.
J)Protect your references. If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of yourreferences, take it out. There's no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contactinformation of your references.
K)Keep confidential (机密的) information confidential. Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, driver's license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color.Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Don't provide this even if they saythey need it in order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book--don't fallfor it.
46、Those who post their resumes online for a long time will run an increased risk of becoming victims of identity theft.
47、Robert Ellis Smith says that identity theft is spreading around the world and hard to detect beforehand.
48、Victims of identity theft may suffer additional financial losses in order to restore their reputation and correct wrong infbrmation.
49、In the US,750,000 people are estimated to become victims of identity theft each year.

51、One is supposed to learn how to manage the risks if he or she is going to seek jobs online safely.
52、Standard posting allows fullest potential audience to browse through the resumes posted online.
53、Honest employers will not ask their initial job applicants to reveal their social security account, driver's license or bank account numbers.
54、Make sure that your email address will not be named in a way that could let out your personal information.
55、Job seekers are advised to describe the company they are serving right now in a general way instead of giving an exact name.

Theft of data, or data crime, has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicates. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer grogram. An international market already exists for computerized data, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firm's competitors to foreign nations.
A competitor sabotages a company's computer system to destroy or cripple the firm's operational ability, thus neutralizing its competitive capability either in the private or the government sector. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations, sabotage of their computers can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime.
Politically motivated sabotage is on the increase; political extremist groups have sprouted on every continent. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technologically advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defence work suffered more than $ 2 million in damages as a result of a bombing.
Computer vulnerability has been amply documented. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in assassinating political leaders... Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome, tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages. Homicide could take a new form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century.
The computer opens vast areas of crime to organized criminal groups, both national and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiting a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology.
How many kinds of crimes are mentioned in the passage?

ers are gainingplenty of convenience — and also taking on extra risks. Hackers are poised tosteal the funds and identities of shoppers who don’t take steps to protectthemselves.
LogRhythm, a cyber security company, points out that because so many people now shop from mobile devices, which are often less protected thancomputers, information technology workers expect a rise in cyber crime thisholiday shopping season. IT workers surveyed by the company said they were mostconcerned with phishing attacks, where hackers pretend to be reputablecompanies and persuade victims to share their personal information, such ascredit card numbers, with them.
One of the most common methods is for a hacker to send an email to avictim claiming to be from a bank, retailer, or other company that then directsthem to another site, which then captures their personal information. (That’sone reason to avoid clicking on hyperlinks from inside emails, even if theyappear to be from a recognizable company.)
To avoid that kind of scam and others, here are the latest tips onhow to stay safe while shopping online:
● Skip attachments and hyperlinks. LogRhythm warns that evenattachments from people you know can be nefarious, since those acquaintancescould be infected with a computer virus themselves. If the email containsunusual or scant wording, don’t open the attachment. The same logic applies tohyperlinks in emails (or requests for information received over text message);LogRhythm recommends first hovering over the link to make sure it’s going todirect you to a valid address.
● Don’t make purchases over coffee shop-lattes. Any public wi-ficonnection, such as those offered at coffee shops or libraries, carry extrarisks, since they aren’t private. LogRhythm recommends against shopping onlineor engaging in any financial transactions, such as logging into your bankaccount, from such hot spots.
● Protectyour smartphone. Web browsers and retailer apps on mobile devices make it easyto shop on the go, but doing so can also expose shoppers to extra risks sincemany phones don’t have the same kind of data encryption that’s often installedon computers. Even taking a relatively simple step, such as enabling thepassword lock feature on your phone, will make it harder for a thief to accessprivate data stored on the phone in case it’s lost or stolen. Computer securitycompany McAfee also warns against downloading apps that might steal personalinformation. (to be continued)
●Don’t trust your “friends”. Hackers target social media, includingFacebook and Twitter, because they know it’s easier to get people to click on alink that appears to be recommended from a friend. McAfee has identified dozensof examples, including free dinner offers at Cheesecake Factory and fakemystery shopping invitations. Offers that sound too good to be true, such asfree iPads or free iPhones, are also a common lure. The company cautionsagainst clicking on fake alerts from friends, who may have been hackedthemselves, and avoiding shortened links on Twitter that claim to offer deals.
● Open e-cards with caution. They can be cute, but they can also bemalicious. McAfee warms that some e-cards download viruses onto your computerwhen you download them. To avoid that outcome the company suggests only openinge-cards from domain names that you recognize as big e-car sites.
● Upgrade your passwords. The holiday season can serve as a good reminderto give your passwords a makeover; security experts recommend changing themregularly as a precaution against hackers. Avoid common and simple words, uselong combinations of words that also incorporate numbers or symbols, and neveruse duplicate passwords for multiple accounts.
● Check up on an e-retailer before making purchases. Some fly-by-nightoperations take advantage of the uptick in shopping around the holiday seasonto collect cash without ever mailing out the goods in return, warms the BetterBusiness Bureau. To protect yourself, the bureau recommends never wiring moneyor paying in advance.
● Review your statements. The first sign of identity theft is oftenan unfamiliar charge on a credit card or bank statement; reviewing thosestatements carefully and contacting your bank or card provider with anyconcerns can prevent a theft from expanding. Credit card usually come with somemeasure of automatic protection, as long as you report the scam relativelyquickly.
Following these tips might leave you feeling like the Grinch — be suspicious of friends ?— but the real holiday downer would be dealing with a stolen identity whenyou’re trying to enjoy the spirit of the season.

A、By atacking the shoppers who forget their security code,
B、By attacking the shoppers who has lots of money in their account.
C、By atacking the shoppers who don't take security and prtection measures.

We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either C0caCola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they' d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guesswork could have accomplished.
Getting ail four samples right was a tough test, but not too though, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified theft brand of choice in all four trials. The diet cola drinkers did a little worse -- only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to______.
A.find out the role taste preference plays in a person' s drinking
B.reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers
C.show that a person' s opinion about taste is mere guesswork
D.compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks
