Understanding Internet Security

Featured Blog Post showing code on a computer screen

Understanding Internet Security can be easy for some and hard for others. Internet security is a branch of computer security that encompasses Internet browser security, website security, and network security as it applies to other applications or operating systems as a whole.

When it comes to understanding internet security, it doesn’t matter what it is, websites, personal computers, or online accounts can all be vulnerable if your internet security isn’t secure. Even some of the largest companies in the world fall to hackers. So what can we do?

What is Computer Hacking

It doesn’t matter if you have a small business, corporation, or home network. If they aren’t secured, there is a chance it could be compromised by hackers.

When people think of computer hacking, they normally think of illicit computer experts breaking into government networks. Hacking is such a broad term and can describe a number of different methods of unauthorized computer use.

For example:

  • Account hacking

– Most common and simplest form of hacking is gaining access to somebody else’s online accounts.

  • Network attacks– Attack the entire computer network normally done by protestors, organized hacking groups, and criminal gangs.
  • Personal computer hacking– Hackers gain access to personal computers to steal data or use them as part of a botnet.

Internet Crime Complaint Center

The mission of the Internet Crime Complaint Center, also known as IC3, is to provide the public with a reliable and convenient reporting mechanism to submit information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concerning suspected Internet-facilitated criminal activity and to develop alliances with law enforcement and industry partners.
