Hacking

computer network foundation to protect the network
and the networkaccessible resources from
unauthorized access. Hacking means people can get
unauthorized access to your account, computer, or
network. Once they have the access to your account,
they have complete control over all your
transactions, and can misuse your account for illegal
or objectionable purposes.
Email Frauds, Spamming and Phishing
Phishing mention to the cases of online scams wherein
people fraudulently acquire sensitive information by
posing as a trustworthy entity via email or instant
messaging. Often this information can include your
important financial as well as personal contact details.
The information can then be used for several illegal
purposes, which, in turn, can put you in trouble. At
times, this information is collected and sold to online
advertisers as well. Online scams, which requests for
your bank account numbers, pinvolve asswords, or any
other sensitive information, are a menace over the
Internet.

pornographic content, but is also full of sexual
predators on a lookout for easy prey. Internet
pornography is a main threat for the people who
frequently keep on posting their photographs
and videos over the Internet, since these can be
misused and even posted on pornographic sites.
Cyberterrorism A Threat to National Security
Several government websites contain important
information, which is either uploaded over the
Internet or stored in their database. These websites
are vulnerable to security threats since many
people try to break into security systems to access
undisclosed matters of national importance. Cyber
terrorists can also bring down the infrastructure,
which is more or less dependent on the Internet
today, to spread panic in the world..

cybercrimes, having strong firewall protection
for the network is a must today. In case you

you need a basic firewall, antivirus software,
antispyware software, and a robust password in
case of wireless connections.

possible dangers of the Internet and supervise
their online activities for a while, but your
children might get a wrong impression if they
realize that you are spying on their online
activities. This is where cyber security software
and hardware come to you rescue. It is possible
