Descriptions

Social networking sites, personal information and general purpose search engines, and your own work, public-use, and home computers provide considerable information on you—your digital footprint.  And even though identity fraud and theft are on the rise (i.e., 505 million data records were breached from 2005-July 2011), many people are not vigilant in protecting their personal and workplace privacy, identification, and good name, even though a lot of free, quality help is available to them.  This session will give you information on who is at risk, the forms of ID theft, and provide a sample of the notable online identity and privacy sites.  Various resources and protection organizations will also be discussed so that you can learn how to detect and protect your own digital footprint.

After Attending This Webinar, Participants Will Be Able To:

·       Analyze ID safety issues at work, home, and on the road

·       Apply safeguards and remove unwanted information

·       Connect to and retrieve additional tools and resources

Thanks for letting us know!  It should be 10 am to 11:30 am and has been corrected

The "Register Now" button does not appear on the registration page for Robert Lackie's class (I have tried it in both Chrome and IE), making it impossible to register. Is there a problem with that page? Or does the button's absence indicate that registration is at capacity?

In reply to by mhickson

As we talked on the phone, we are currently looking into this issue. Since all other class registration links are working fine and most users do not experience the same issue registering for Robert's program, there are several possible reasons that may cause the problem. Please let us know if you have the same issue for any other programs in the future.  Thank you!
