The Act consists of three sections: The Financial Privacy Rule, which regulates the collection and disclosure of private financial information; the Safeguards Rule, which stipulates that financial institutions must implement security programs to protect such information; and the Pretexting provisions, which prohibit the practice of pretexting (accessing private information using false pretenses).

TIPS: Retrieving and modifying the product key for Windows XP At some point it might be necessary to change the product key for an installed copy of XP. This could be for a variety of reasons. For instance, if you are changing licensing schemes, such as going from buying licenses individually to a bulk-licensed edition of Windows or even vice versa. Some product keys that have been known to be pirated are also being invalidated with the release of each Service Pack. Changing the license key requires that Windows XP be re-activated. This tip explains how you can do this. TOPICS: Migration 101 Migration can be tricky business.
