Computer Hacking in the New Age, All you Need to Know about Hacking Today

Every human discovery has pros and cons, so is the computer which has

pervaded all our lives. The modern humanity is increasingly dependent

on computer for various day-to-

day activities. Computers do us a whole lot of good things, but it is

not without some pitfalls. With the extensive use of internet for

hundreds of our needs, computer opens a vicious cycle of hackers.

Computer hacking is a term which

refers to an individual's illegal and

unauthorized access to the data which are stored in a user's system.

This is done to disturb the confidentiality and security of the

user's computer.



The hackers focus on individuals' computer system when they are

online. As long as you are not connected to internet you are less

prone to hacking. The access to internet has actually made computer

hacking easy. You must protect your computer with strong antivirus and

firewall programs to keep hackers away. Hackers are known for creating

problems which are difficult to solve. This gives a good business to

computer investigators and technicians. Hacking can be done in lots of

ways. Few of them are given

below:



1. Worms: These are the programs

which propagate through

networks.



2.Trojans: These are hidden in

websites, attached files and

emails.



3.Viruses: These attach

themselves to various kinds of

files. They can damage certain

functions of your computer.



Hackers also crash on wireless networks which do not have firewall

installed and enabled. They can also send email attachments with

malicious software which

get embedded on the victim's computer. Hackers attack accounts which

have weak passwords. All these are done to get access to

confidential and sensitive information of the users. Whatever is the

method of hacking, the

effect is harmful for the user. Your system will be flooded with

viruses, malwares which steal your information. In order to avoid

hacking one has to make sure that the systems at home or

office have the latest anti-virus program and firewall installed and

enabled. These programs

need to be regularly updated. Use the latest browser and scan your

computer on a regular

basis.



New Age...



The New Age of internet has brought with it many risk factors along

with umpteen advantages. The New Age is the time where our personal

lives are no longer very personal,

but people are able to access personal information of internet users

from various sources in the virtual world. We need to be

careful about usernames and passwords, else it will lead to dangerous

consequences.

Universities, large companies and government agencies are mostly

targeted by hackers simply because of the bulk of information they

handle. The great newspapers like The Wall Street Journal and The New

York Times were also targeted by hackers.



Computer hackers are people who gain remote access to information

stored in a system elsewhere. During the 1950s and 60s hackers were

more drawn towards learning the

operations of a computer rather than stealing confidential information

of a remote user. Unlike the olden days, now computer hacking has

become more sophisticated and organized. In the late 1990s hackers

tried to

get access to files in the network of Pentagon. Some more expert

hackers gained access to

the patent files at the Indiana University School of Medicine in

February 2003. Many hackers were sentenced in the history since

hacking represents a potential national security threat.



Viruses



One major tool hackers use to steal

information from computer systems is the use of viruses. Over the

years the number of viruses has increased drastically. The virtual

world now has above 100000 viruses and the

number grows virtually every day. Apart from the threat the computer

hackers pose, they also can be beneficial in one way. They can

bring to light the flaws in a computer network. Hackers can help in

redesigning the system

and in making information inaccessible to illegal users and to

unauthorized access.



Getting Administrative Access



Getting a log in password is one of the predominant ways to get access

to a computer which is by the side of the hacker. Getting remote

access to a computer is another way to hack a system. Managing to

crack a Wi-Fi password is the third method of

sneaking into someone else's system. Hacking if done on a public or

school computer will have serious consequences. The hacker will be put

behind the bars for illegally

accessing the computer which does not belong to him or her.
