DIGITAL SECURITY

Hazards of online activity

Digital security involves the protecting computer's internet account and files from being stolen by an outside user. Internet users today are very familiar with companies like Symantec (Norton Anti-Virus) and McAfee that provide them with internet security products and resources to guard against computer viruses and to provide secure firewalls and protection against spyware.

The T&C on programmes are sometimes helpful but at times it can be irritating to internet users. How so is that T&C may mislead people in terms of knowing that most people do not read these conditions. In most cases readers are mislead by these terms and conditions and are unable to understand the guidelines due to that type of jargon been used. Some people don't know that Terms and Conditions spell out the fees and interest charges you could incur as a cardholder. And in so doing this can be seen as a way of tricking users of the net.

Cyber-crime is any criminal or other offence that is facilitated by or involves the use of electronic communications or information systems, including any device or the Internet or any one or more of them  is any crime that involves a computer and a network.

• Online scams >  A swindle involving money, goods, etc, in which the victim's trust is won by the swindler. Find more information about who your dealing before trusting who your working with. Be familiar with the website your working on.
