Online security is important to anyone who uses the Internet; the related issues are complex and dynamic. Every unprotected online computer can be affected with the viruses, malware, adware, hackers’ attacks and Trojans. Web-based services, including social networks MySpace and Facebook, are becoming prime targets for hackers seeking your personal information.There are many security risks on internet that can lead you to serious financial loss, information theft and the attack on your computer.
As internet users display more of their personal information on social networking Web sites, and office workers upload more sensitive data to online software programs, computer hackers are employing increasingly sophisticated methods to pry that information loose. In many cases, they're devising small attacks that can fly under the radar of traditional security software, while exploiting the trust users place in popular business and consumer Web sites.
Furthermore, the names and contact information for tens of thousands of customers of Automatic Data Processing and SunTrust Banks were stolen from Salesforce.com, which provides online customer management software for those two companies. The incident occurred after a hacker tricked a sales force employee into disclosing a password.
The best way to overcome those problems is to use one of the many antivirus, antispyware, and firewall programs on the market; beside that also make that no anyone will ask for your password, account number, or other log-in information via e-mail or instant message.
