The cyber crimes are not all the same. According to the experts of Avira Virus Labs, if you think through the threats, nation to nation, reflecting on what you need to do to defend yourself, would it be possible to enhance the safety and security at the global level. On the occasion of Safer Internet Day, a global day dedicated to network security, the computer company has presented the most vulnerable points of the different countries in the world. As you read in the report that is created by Avira, In Germany you have to pay attention to the exploit kit, the americans must defend themselves from the trojans that affect the operating system, while the italians must look to those who want to steal their sensitive data through criminal acti vities such as phishing. Here is a guide to implement the perfect defense against thieves of passwords.
The rules that apply everywhere – In 2016, the United States have suffered a lot of cyber attacks against major giants like Yahoo. After the spread of the malware that introduce malicious code into system files, such as Win32/Patched, that has occurred in the form of imposing, in the United States, the Avira team believes the threat is still significant. To identify the infected web sites, and to dig out the danger in the entrance is essential to have an antivirus app on mobile phones and on their computers. It will appear to a stratagem out of fashion, but still essential.
update required – The best defense against the theft of sensitive information is to have a program auto-update. This can prevent the exploit kit (a system of malware able to install data and code that can make a computer vulnerable even at a distance) to enter into function, without our knowledge.
Open the file with caution – According to Avira, the real weak point of the Italy computer science are the emails that contain infected links, and fake requests for information, to the base of the scam called phishing. This technique affects mostly computer users unwary. In this case, you can find on your pc a program called DR/PSW.The Delf.Cpm: his task is to steal passwords or install a ransomware program. In the latter case, the computer is blocked, and, for him to return to work, the user must pay a sum of money. In order to combat the phenomenon, Europol, has launched an initiative that aims to save the device from the close of the ransom the computer, but without shelling out any amount. If an email seems suspicious, or has attachments to unusual, it is a good idea to check the file twice with your own antivirus or simply delete it.
Usb to be too “sociable” – The report file of Avira highlights another weakness, this time is typical of the French, but to which we must also pay attention to us. Take a Usb stick is not an act without risk. In these steps it is possible to run in the worm Verecno, that can spread automatically once the key is inserted in the device. So be careful to be too bold with your Usb stick.
Download risky – Download unwanted applications, like ransomware is very easy. These can enter the device through the add-ons achieved through the app, toolbars and advertising. The first effect is to see the pc slowed down. In reality, this means that a program is working in the background, without our knowledge, disturbing the user experience, and probably violating the hard disc. To avoid installation of components and unwanted, simply do not download a program using the default settings. Best to check file by file what you are adding on your own computer.
the Eye of passwords – note, however, that the password is, after the anti-virus, the most important protection for our devices and documents. According to Avira, in spite of the cyber frauds that have characterized the end of 2016, it seems that internet users have not yet understood the importance of a secure password. So he compiled a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2016. At the top of the ranking there is the stainless “123456″. To create a secure password, it is good to remember to use a different one for each account created, there must be at least 8 characters that must include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Better to create words non-existent is because hackers sometimes use programs cracker who try to break the systems using all the words given in the dictionaries. Do not use words associated with the person, such as the name of your dog or that of a family member. Change your passwords regularly, esp ecially for their e-mail and account on home banking. Especially: never write your password on a sheet of paper.
