Internet Security

Hello again, I share a new post with you today to explain a bit about security on the Internet. We don't realize but we're surrounded by possible dangers that may harm us or involve us in crimes. We can find two main possible dangers related to Internet connection:

# Accessing fake Wi-Fies

When you are in a public place you will often find some free Wi-Fi. Well, it's sometimes a wifi from the specific place but it's sometimes a fake created by someone to catch your information, and depending on the information you have compiled in your Internet connexion, the hacker can access your accounts, watch and use your media files, supplant your identity... And it can be very dangerous for you, so be careful and try not to connect WiFies which are completely opened or which look suspicious.

# Leaving your WiFi connexion neglected, without enough security

It's not much problem if someone catches your WiFi password to use the Internet sometime, but it'll be a big problem if they use it to commit a crime or access your information as in the previous case. In our routers we usually have WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption codes, which are weak and easily decoded, and worse if we don't change the default codes. If you want to be safer, at least you should have WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Wireless), whose algorithm is stronger. But the safer and difficultly decoded encryption protocols are WPA2, with Advanced Encription Standard. Whatever you have, try to make it secure, change the name and the password, hide any weak point...

I wish it was useful and you liked, see you next post, as always ;)
