Computer / Network Security
Everybody who is connected to the internet in this day
and age, should be aware of the dangers on the internet.
Most home users and even large companies are open to
attack...some of which are WIDE open!
Most internet users have broadband, which are
connected by "routers".
These act as a gateway between your PC's and the
internet.
Most routers are pretty much, plug in and you're away.
But what ISP's dont tell you, is that your Router has
Default logins, which hackers can easily get round, and
access your PC's...check your router manual for :
"How to change admin password "
Another EASY way in for hackers, is exploiting software,
for example, the popular Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems. Make sure you keep your computer, up2date
with the latest patches/updates...
To do this: Type in "windows updates" in google
(Internet Explorer required)
Heres a few things which I recommend you install on
your computer to keep the "unwanted" out of your
personal space.
