Internet Security
Internet security is one of the most important things as there are so many viruses and people that will try to steal your information.
Here are 3 possible security risks:
1. Anti-Virus and Spyware
There are many types of anti-viruses and spyware, some are free and some require a payment. this is important as if you do not have a anti virus or spyware it makes it easy for a viruses to infect your system, and steal your information which can be used for fraudulant uses.
2.Unsecured Networks
Everyone is always looking for a network when they are in cafes, bars, libraries or just out and about, some networks are secure and require a password to login, some of the other networks are called unsecured networks which means that when you login to it other people can see what you are looking at whether you are on the internet or just checking e-Mails. You should Never login to a unsecured network unless you have VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN creates a secure tunnel which keeps your information secure, there are many types of VPN on the internet which you can use that are free but again some require a payment.
3. Passwords and login information
above i covered networks, Anti-virus and spyware but the most important information are your login and password, apart from internet fraud there are some that may use the telphone or send a fake email to try to gain your login and password details. almost all of the companys would never ask you for your login or password. You should NEVER tell anyone this information.
Another way is to send out fake emails asking you to login to your account due to some kind of problem, usually these e-mails send you to a fake server which stores your information for others to use to gain access to your account, these e-mails may look like the real thing but of course are fake.
