This is just one step to Internet Security, a ver good one. However, to stay safe, you need to be proactive and utilize some common sense and some good protection software. Take a moment to read below for critical advice on how to secure yourself from online threats.
Guide
to Internet Security
The Internet has been called the “new
frontier” and in many
ways, it is. This “information superhighway” has caused concerns with
personal
privacy, and connected computer systems around the world (resulting in
additional security measures), have provided hackers an opportunity to
prey on
innocent victims everywhere.
Here are a few of our tips to protect yourself and your computer while
surfing
the web.
-
Don’t use Bittorrent
or Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Sharing Software to illegally download music,
movies,
software, etc.
To begin with, using Bittorrent, or P2P Sharing software to
download something which is
pirated or illegal is…well illegal. But it has become so popular that
you can’t
resist right? Hackers noticed this as well, which is why these
“systems” tend
to not only be clogged
with your favorite tunes, but
also full of viruses, trojans
and malware. Almost
every infected computer I see is running some form of P2P Sharing
software.
Don’t believe me? Back in 2004, Wired Magazine reported that it was
estimated
that forty-five percent of the executable files shared on Kazaa
contained some sort of malicious code! You can read that article here.
-Keep
your computer’s software updated.
This includes your operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux/etc) and any
web-based
applications, such as web browsers, email clients and web browser plugins (Flash, Java, etc.). It
might just be easier to set
your computer to automatically update daily to ensure that you are
always
protected. If a vulnerability
is discovered, it is
usually a good idea to ensure that your computer has been patched for
that
vulnerability.
-Be
cautious about logging into public
computers.
When you login to a public computer (such as in the library, at work or
in the
college computer lab) be sure to check that the “Remember Me” checkbox
is not
checked. When you are done make sure that you fully log-off all your
accounts;
Wait until you see the message that states that you have successfully
logged
off instead of leaving the computer the instant you click the logoff
button.
Never let the public computer save your passwords and consider using
the web
browser’s private browsing mode or delete the web browser’s history
when you
are done.
-Be
careful who you give your email address to.
Almost everyone asks for your email address: At the doctor’s office to
the
supermarket to signing up for an online service. And then you receive
spam
message after spam message. Here is a thought: Create two email
accounts: One
for personal use (which you provide only to close family and friends)
and
another for handing out to websites when you complete their
registration form
or purchase a product online. You will notice your second email becomes
stuffed
with spam while your personal email is clutter free.
-Be
knowledgeable about phishing and scams.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A family member who
you have
never heard of did not die and leave you millions of dollars and you
did not
win a PS3 just for visiting a website. Your bank or financial
institution will
never contact you via email and Paypal
will not ask
you to provide a “third party partner” your personal information and Paypal login details. If you are
unsure of whether
something is a scam or not, contact the appropriate institution or run
a simple
Google search.
