Each day, we read about another security breach somewhere in our digital world. It has become so commonplace that we hardly react anymore. Target , J.P. Morgan , iCloud , Home Depot , and the list goes on and on.
Those are just the big ones that get reported in the news. Millions take place every year that are not reported. Despite that, the public is suffering from "security breach fatigue." No one seems to care anymore. As the public becomes "dulled" to the importance of these breaches, they are more likely to ignore some basic measures to protect their systems.
As someone responsible for my share of "breaches," I would like to offer you some simple ways that you prevent yourself from becoming a victim of these types of hacks. Keep in mind that nothing will protect you 100% from all attacks. The only way to assure that is to take your machine offline, and no one wants to do that.
There so many ways to attack an online computer that if someone is determined to hack you, and they have the knowledge and skills, they are likely to get in. What you can do, though, is make it as difficult as possible for the random fly-by hacker to get into your system and instead target their efforts to someone who is much easier to victimize.
One of the first things you need to understand is that hackers are constantly scanning the world for vulnerable systems. They simply write a little program or script to scan every IP address on the planet looking for a particular known vulnerability or two. When they find that your system has that vulnerability, then they begin the attack. If your system doesn't come up on their radar, they will simply pass you by and look at the next online computer.
Here are few common sense measures to keep yourself from being hacked. I've tried to arrange them from the most basic to the more advanced. Obviously, the more of these measures your implement, the less the chance that you will be hacked.
