  • What do you think are the main threats in Intenet?

    The biggest threats

    I think that the most powerfull threat is the violation of your privacity. Because they(hackers) can take your own information and expose it to the world. For that reason it's important the internet security, To protect us from all these threats.

    Internet Security

    I think that the main threat is your personal information that you share in social networks like facebook.

    Internet Security

    I don't think about it like a main threat, but it's a really important threat especially for youth people. That's the false web pages where they ask you for an account you already have to see your password and email and then, they steal all they can of your account. That's especially dangerous on youth people who doesn't know so much about Internet, and they can easily chop the hook and they can harm them parents too.

    Types of threat

    Virus: It is a type of software that can be replicated by infecting computers without the user's permission. A virus can be transmitted by a user through the network.

    Spam: it is electronic garbage that arrives by email. It is normally distributed when a Trojan is inserted into the user´s computer, takes the email addresses from the contact list and send a mass message.

    Spywere: It is software that secretly installs itself on the use´s computer, to then monitor its activity or interfere with the use of its equipment.

    The importance of secure passwords

    Most Internet users don't realize how important it is to use passwords that comply with usual security standarts, such as: to combine letters and numbers, uppercase and lowercase, even simbols. The weaker our password is, the easier it is to crack it ("cracking" means using a software that tries every possible combination until it guesses our password, "brute forcing" it). If our password is compromised, important information about ourselves may be exposed: personal data, credit card information...

    What's worse, some people even share their passwords with their family and friends or leaves them written in unsecure locations. They also use the same password for a whole range of different webs...

    Our information

    The most important thing is our personal information, and it becomes very dangerous when someone have it and can use it.

    It can be dangerous if you are used to shopping on some websites and those webistes are not protected against hackers. If someone make the way to take your account, he could use your payments methods and steal you.

    You must be very careful about how you use Internet, and not share your data.

    Threats

    The biggest danger of the internet is anonymity, people hide and recreate all kinds of actions from behind a screen.

    But simultaneously, the lack of privacy is also becoming a problem, where multinationals that provide services to users store an absurd amount of data about them, even trade with them, we must fight for a free internet, where users can have good privacy.

    Main threats in Intenet

    In my opinion, I think the main threats are the theft of personal and confidential information, and also the bullying.

    Danger Zone

    On the Internet we can access good and bad content, for example, inadequate images.
    Also, teens and young children can access chats with older people that can lead to sexual harassment. For example, young children or teenagers to take pictures with erotic content.
    And a very important problem is cyberbullying.

    Main threats in Internet.

    In internet there are a lot of threats, but in my opinion, Hacking is the most dangerous ,Hacking is a term used to describe actions taken by someone to gain unauthorized access to a computer. The availability of information online on the tools, techniques, and malware makes it easier for even non-technical people to undertake malicious activities. It is the process by which cyber criminals gain access to your computer.
    Hackers may stole your personal information.

    The inexperience in Internet

    The most important thing to navegate safer in Internet is have a good education about the dangers we are going to find. How can we know which pages are safe, what private information shouldn't put in some pages and things like this because you can be so exposed to identity theft, data theft... I think we should have a good education before we join Internet

    Internet insecurity

    There are still many harmful data holes for personal data, bank accounts, etc.

    A secret tittle

    Personally I dont know about Internet Security, I mean I just use Internet for listen to music, watch videos and search information.

    We really need protection? I think yes of course, but not always, like you can share our personal information under our own risc. Today people are soo annoyed because a lot of companys use our information in social networks, but when we use this we are agree with this!

    Too much threats and a bit solution

    In my opinion, Internet is a very useful tool for all things that you want to do or search. For the other hand, internet is a dark site that it isn't very good for all people.

    One of the focus is protect the web sites to the children that they can surf in the internet at too in the social networks.

    The importance of security systems on the internet.

    Currently, we are experiencing several episodes of cyber attacks against companies. Important organizations, both public and private, have suffered these attacks on their computer systems. These cyber attacks not only affect customers or investors of these companies, but may also affect the national or regional security of the different states besides the company itself.

    If a company wants to be competitive in these times, it must have systems, resources and agile ICT platforms with a high level of availability, which requires effective management and a broad process of digital transformation. The process of digital transformation in which most organizations and society in general are immersed, allows you to commit attacks against the computer security of companies from anywhere in the world using only a computer as a tool. This is why organizations have to pay special attention to protect themselves against possible attacks since no one is safe from malware.

    Different Types Of Internet Security Threats
    The meain threats in Internet

    From my point of view the main threats in Internet are the date steal and the false advertistments, these are relationed with each other, because the false advertisments are usually used to steal the personal dates from any person. In the Internet we must be very carefull and think everytime we give our personal dates to any Internet page and make sure that who are those who we are giving out dates, there are some dates that are really dangerous, like our place of living or the number of our credit card. That's why we should't never give these dates on the Internet, to anyone who we are not sure who they are.

    The main threats in the Internet

    One big threat in the internet is the stealing of personal information, some companies use this data to show personal ads to users in order to make users more interested in them.

    Another big threat is the stealing of accounts in different gaming or social platforms. Lots of people earn money by stealing other peoples accounts and selling them back to the original owner.

    Phishing

    One of the main threats on the internet I think is phishing. Phishing is a method used by cybercriminals to deceive and reveal personal information, such as passwords or credit cards and social security data and bank account numbers. They do this by sending fraudulent emails or by going to a fake website. Therefore, we must be completely sure of where we are redirected by an email, have complicated passwords and be careful when paying with your credit card.

    Internet Day

    On the Internet, the main threat is ourselves, people on the Internet are very careless and unwittingly disclose very committed information or even leave information for anyone to see. It is good to encourage this type of day so that people become aware and know what they do on the internet.

    Main threats

    I dont really think that you have to care a lot about that, jus be smart, especially while shopping online, use secure pages and dont fall for fake offers like in real life.

    Internet Security Day

    I think that parents should be more informed of what their children do online and put more restrictions.
    Internet is a very practical tool but at the same time very dangerous if it is not used properly.

    Identy Theft

    I think one of the most dangerous things in Internet is the Identy Thief.

    If you are a person who like upload thousand of photos on instagram, facebook, twitter, in the future you can have problems. Unknown can steal your pictures and try to steal your identity.

    In addition, in the future this photos that you uploaded when you was young can get you in trouble.

    Its a good idea to think twice before share your photos and your life.

    Threats on the internet

    The main threats on internet are our personal information, because it can be used againts you. We share too much information on the social network and we think it can't be used but it's all saved on data bases all around the world. We should share less information to be more secure on internet.

    The main threats in internet

    As I see it, the most dangerous threats on internet are the one's that you can't see; among them the most usual happends when we dowload applications and you give permisions to instal the program, because some of them try to take profit instaling malicious applications.
    The best thing you can do is dowload from secure pages and scan every program you get.

    The security of our accounts

    Today having an account with an acceptable password is not enough, there are several ways you can access your account for example by attacking the pages where you registered and scammers's mails. There are several new methods to protect your account as authentication through two steps (it is that you download a third-party app and generate random codes every 10 seconds you have to enter to access your account).

    Identity Theft

    Identity theft is a crime in which a criminal pretends to be another person assuming the identity of the same using devices that appear to prove the identity of the victim, such as confidential information, passwords, vouchers, IDs, etc. Usually this crime is aimed at having access to resources and assets that are obtained or that are in the victim's name, such as credit cards.
    Here are some basic tips that will help you stay free of risks in the virtual world of the Internet:
    1.-Be cautious when opening emails.
    2.-Use direct URLs to access banking pages.
    3.-Avoid using public computers.

    information privacy

    Personally, i think personal data is the most important, that's why we should all rely on any security system we have nowadays. security has improved a lot through the years, but that being said, it doesn't matter how much we try, if cyber-criminals really want to, we'll never be able to defend ourselves, they'll always have new ways to steal personal data. This is not just about single users computers, but also through any internet connection we use, Facebook for example, we all know what happened.

    Beware of false accounts

    One of the problems of the Internet or what to take care of is with false emails or false accounts. Since they can steal information without you noticing. Then make sure if the emails or accounts are always real or official.

    Identity threat

    I think one of the most famous threats is identity theft, many people try to be a different person, especially in social networks. They pretend to be other people in order to obtain personal information, photos, or even emotionally and physically abusive. That is why it is important to be careful with those we deal with in social networks and not give information to those we do not know personally.

    Internet Threats

    I think most of the Internet threats are spyware. It can't be understand that these software is infected and can't be removed easily. The easiest way to get rid of internet threats is not to enter unreliable sites and antivirus program should be used.
