Auto Loans: Putting You in the Driver s Seat With interest rates on auto loans that are typically a couple of points lower than at banks, credit unions are on a roll. In fact, credit unions extend loans at lower interest rates than banks, have more flexible payment schedules, and require lower loan minimums (or none at all, in some cases). But as important as rates may be, they aren t everything.

Five Easy Ways to Protect Yourself from Hackers Tired of worrying about hackers? Security experts say more people could protect their home computers by doing five simple things: 1. Don t rely on simple passwords. A popular password like 12345678 won t stop the typical hacker for a millisecond. Instead, use a different password for each account, combining letters, numbers, and symbols. 2. Keep up with patches. If you require your computer to ask before downloading a software update, be sure to permit legitimate patches that may solve a security issue. 3. Stop spam. Malware that rides in on an ad or a phishing email can steal account and password data, or even take over your computer. If you need better protection, try a Web-based spam blocker. 4. Encrypt your Wi-Fi. If your home network isn t password-protected, any drive-by hacker can jump onto it. To change this, enter your wireless router s IP address in your Internet browser. Log in with your user name and password, then select Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) and create a strong password for the network. 5. Keep your online doors shut. Marketers are touting Internet connectivity for appliances, thermostats, and other devices, but be careful what you hook up to your network. Administrative passwords may be easy to guess or hack, opening a back door into your computer files. If a device doesn t need to be online, take it off. Last, back up your most valuable files regularly. Whether you store them on a flash drive or external hard drive or in the cloud, a hacker won t be able to rob you of important programs, photos, music, and documents. That can take away a lot of worry, too. Experts advise creating a complex password that s unique for each online account, so hackers who gain entrée to one of your accounts won t have access to others.
