A review on a post on Internet Security from My E-Commerce blog

The evolution of technology has benefits to the society like invention of robots to replace some human jobs, cars, computers and others but the enhancement of technology especially in internet has created a lot of security problems. For the past 12 months, according to the Symantec bi-annual Internet Security Threat Report and the review on the post more than 1million computer viruses in circulation now on 11 April , there are more than a million of Computer Viruses, Worms and Trojans in circulation. It seems the viruses has been planned to attack our computers. When our computers get infected by those viruses, worms and Trojans, our computer components will slowly destroy by them and we need to spend unnecessary money to replace the damages components.

Further more, I feel that we are no longer feel safe in using the internet. Our confidential information will be hacked by other people for their purposes and our so called privacy is no longer can be called private and confidential. Next is the cyber terrorism. Government spent a lot of money to fight against the cyber terrorism. Hackers nowadays are brave enough. They even try to get into the government to get some confidential data to be used for other purpose. For example Pentagon e mails are being attacked and it triggered the Pentagon to take off 1,500 e-mails accounts offline.

The hackers are trying to get some of the military information and you can imagine that, Pentagon being one of the most advance military organization in the world receives hundred of threats to its computer systems either from the young or adventurous hackers to the terrorist and how about us? Let talk about online transaction, there will be probability that our bank account will be hacked.

The hackers will transfer out all our money in our accounts without knowing who did that. Not enough by that, mobile devices can also be infected with mobile malicious software (malware) now. There are always new threats coming up everyday. And, we can’t stop these things from happening. All we can do is just read and update ourselves about the threat in internet security to make sure we are safe.
