Meet Worm. A little thing that crawls around your computer and WHAM! You won't know what hit you. Every single one of us have had an encounter with a worm in our technological life. I have my own far share. So, what is happening these days? Cybercrime.
Major companies have been putting a stop to cybercrime. Hackers gain access by sending worms, spyware, trojans etc. into their systems. Information can be gathered through these means. Major companies are not just the only one threatened. Ordinary people like you and me are easy targets as well. That is why, internet security is so important. Credit card numbers are too easily obtained. That is why I always opt for ATM transfer whenever I shop online. People are just not careful, hence the widespread of cybercrime.
Thus, internet security has to be strong and like my father always say, 'is your anti-virus and firewall always updated?' I always thought of him as a nag, but he is right, the internet is a dangerous place. Theft in all forms are prevalent in there. Heck, even your identity can be stolen.
All in all, we cannot stop internet crime but we can prevent it from happening to us.
