Cybersecurity Tip #22

Puncturing the Myth of Security by Obscurity

People still don't understand that their little pc or business is actually valuable to the cyber criminal community, here's why: it's not personal, hacking activity is automated on a massive scale and your single PC can yield all sorts of value from gaming accounts, credit cards, identity theft, banking logins and indirect usage such as leveraging access into corporate accounts, spam email, porn file servers or botnet member used to run a distributed denial of service attack against a business for ransom. Get paid endpoint security software, get advanced spam filtering and Web traffic protection and please ensure that you have applications updated with firewalls in place - it's just being a good citizen on the Internet!
