Dangers of File Sharing
"The data was grabbed from a Pfizerlinks employee's computer through peer-to-peer file-sharing software that was installed by the employee's spouse." ~Baseline Security (June 14)

Be careful when setting up your peer-to-peer file-sharing software. Make sure you lock out all non-essential files. If you don't then you to will be a victim of file theft. It's easy for other people on your peer-to-peer network to get into your computer and download whatever they like.

Security should be your number one concern when doing anything online. File sharing is no different, it may be even more important. It opens your computer up to all sorts of people. They may do more than just steal files too. They could essentially get into your computer and delete important file. They could even plant a virus.
