One out of all demerits of using
the Internet is the issue of insecurity that has took over the World
Wide Web in general, internet users can no longer be able to trust the internet
in one way or the other due to the bad encounter they have experienced while
using the internet. Some people have lost their properties and personal things
to the internet hijackers. Internet insecurity has caused some people to live a
life of shame. Some have lost all they had to the internet while others are
making the laugh of their life because they are at the better side (the
internet bad heads), without knowing that one day, the repercussion will come
over their own head.
But, can
we just admit that
internet in one word is not secured to use or there is no more benefits that
people can derive from using the internet? That isn’t possible, internet as a
whole is still secure and it will continue to till the end of the world, but,
for you to access the internet securely,
it depends on how you do it and the strategies you make use of.
Most of the times, internet users are
the main causes of the losses they might have encounter on the internet due to
the lack of internet security knowledge. They may lack the idea or knowledge
which they can use to avert those mistakes or at times due to their negligence.
Some time, they just don’t think about things before they take action, they’re
always in rush to do things without thinking about the end result and others.
Some internet users willingly give out their personal or confidential
information to others on the internet; they submit their banking details to
some websites that looks good in appearance without knowing the danger that can
come from that act.
Numerous websites on the net can asks
for your details, but it is left on you to give them or not to give it out
because, once you give it out, it is no more a personal data; it has become a
general public file and if it happens that you are unlucky, hackers can hacked
into the website in
question and steal your data and many others even without the consent of the
site administrator.
In this article, we will be talking
about ways in which you can secure yourself when surfing or doing activities on
the internet. Here below are the insights on how to secure yourself and
properties from the hands of hackers (both online and offline).
