Internet Security: Is Your Computer System Safe? Summary
|
Why should you be concerned about internet security, you ask? Hackers and cyber-criminals are constantly looking for new
weaknesses in operating systems, browsers, firewalls, and networks. Once they find a weakness, they work to “hack” into it
and use it to steal personal and private information from computer systems. They can exploit these weaknesses to take
everything from user names and passwords to bank account numbers and credit card information. This is how they manage to
steal someone's identity. Hacker's may also want to gain control of your computer system, or network, in order to launch an
attack on another computer system. They can use your computer to attack someone else's computer and hide where the attack
actually came from. In this E-book, you will find a brief summary of the most common security threats that the Internet exposes your computer and files to every time you connect to the Internet - including what they are and how they work - and preventative measures that you can take to help protect your system from these threats. If you apply the simple, common sense, suggestions to your network or computer system and surfing habits, you should be well on the way to a safer more dependable internet experience. |
