CYBERCRIME SAFETY MEASURES
Are you tired? Then maybe you should pause your scrolling session rather than take a nap. Because on average we spend 6 hours and 42 minutes on the internet every day.
That means some of us to spend more time online than in bed. And also more time than in the car. Do you actually lock your door in the evening before you go to bed? Or do you buckle up in the car before going to the office? Both are absolutely common security measures. We protect ourselves even though the likelihood of a break-in or an accident is rather low.Can you say the same about your online life? The risk of a
data breach or ransomware attack is just as real as any other risk in your
life. Even so, we are often less cautious online, making ourselves a welcome target
for hackers and malware.
We know how dangerous online threats are. That is why we
worked for a long time on a secret project that we are proud to present to you
today: Protegent Free Antivirus, one of the best-advanced security software
packages we have ever developed. Protegent Free Antivirus
includes:
Password Manager - Creates and stores unique passwords
Software Updater - Updates drivers and software, and optimizes
the performance of your device
Antivirus - Blocks spyware, ransomware, adware, and more
Bundled in security software, these functions protect you from
a wide variety of online threats. With Protegent Free Antivirus, the following
security problem can no longer affect you:
Data
Breaches
A data breach is more than a leaked password. If your data
falls into the wrong hands, it can have far-reaching consequences: For example,
you could be locked out of your accounts or become a victim of identity theft.
A hacker attack occurs every 39 seconds. So no protection is no solution. But
what can you do if it's already too late and your username and password have
been compromised by a data breach? In this blog article, we will show you what
to do in the event of data theft and how to make your password really secure.
Outdated
Software
Outdated software is found on more than half of all Windows
PCs. That's a huge number, but why is that a problem? Admittedly, all these
update reminders can be quite annoying. However, there is a good reason why it
is so important to keep programs up to date.
Phishing
A phishing attack is hidden behind every 25 apparently
official company emails. As these attacks become more common and severe,
security software is a must. Hackers often pose as well-known companies in
phishing attacks and forge email addresses and websites. So they try to get
their victims to give up their personal data.
Promotional
Ads
Only 25% of the Internet users surveyed in Europe and the USA
find personalized advertising acceptable. However, this method of advertisers
is unlikely to change shortly. As a rule, your personal data is not at risk if
you see the appropriate advertising for your browser history. And yet it can
feel like an invasion of your privacy.
Ransomware
In a ransomware attack, hackers gain access to third-party
devices. Then they lock the device or encrypt the data on it. The name
ransomware comes from the English word "ransom", in German
"ransom". This is the ransom that hackers demand from their victims
to decrypt the data and unlock the device. On average, hackers demand a ransom
of a good $1,000. Did you know that you can actively reduce your risk of such
an attack?
Malware
Malware or malicious software is software that has been specially developed to enable cybercrimes such as data theft or device manipulation. Malware attacks are becoming more common. So the risk of becoming a victim of a malware attack is greater than ever. Sounds scary, doesn't it? Before you worry: In this article, we'll explain everything you need to know about malware and how you can protect yourself.
