Internet Security


In the recent year since IT has become very popular and advance, especially communication (Internet). It brings a lot of convenient to us, we relied heavily on internet in our life, for example searching and get the latest information, communicate to others, online business, online meeting, and maybe use it to settle some progress without going out to particular government department or bank.

In these few years the number of malicious programs increased significantly this bring the threat to us (like virus, worm and Trojan which create by hacker and group of cyber criminal), therefore we need to put more attention on the internet security. But, a lot of organizations they still did not bring enough attention to secure their IT data, since lack of IT knowledge. This is very dangerous since their important data maybe easily hack by people, and sold to their competitor, this would affect their competitive advantages.

Individual also have to take more attention on this issue, since hacker’s target is not only the organization, also the individual. They may hack into individual computer to steal their identity, account password or even the privacy for ransom purpose.

Cyber crime is more complex, it makes police more difficult to identify the culprit. And it exist everywhere, we cannot 100% avoid it, but what only we can do is do something to prevent it. For example using better anti-virus, firewall, keep the personal information privately, don’t use simple password that can guess easily, like name, birthday, and hand phone number, don’t simple click, accept and install the thing or mail that stranger send to you.


Don’t think that you are lucky enough,
maybe you are the next!
