Pandora box has been opened and the information explosion in personal and non-personal seems to be unlimited, and improved several times. And in accordance with national public opinion survey in January 2007, the British have taken half of the port “deep mistrust” due to security problems. Have deep public distrust of the British House of lords Science and Technology Select Committee, for personal computers, home security, expansion of broadband, online banking and electronic commerce (Brent MacLean need more and more use of research “on the Internet The new security outlook” on Monday, September 10, 2007).
All of a wide range of businesses (ISP Association, Richard Security Department in Cambridge, John’s Children’s charities organizations on the Internet Safety Karl and Jonathan’s Oxford Internet Institute and many others Jiterenke Leiden) to collect data, and to compile it all what ? Unfortunately, most companies and citizens are still not taken a serious threat to network insecurity.
You would think with some relying on infrastructure economic dependence, which includes the Internet and exchange of information between providers, the key is turmoil will certainly lead to loss of life, property and public confidence in the fall globablly. Today is not a simple domestic hackers will cause problems, such as for nuclear power plants, banking systems, hospitals, air traffic control and domain name server destructive terrorist actions to undermine the possibilities are limitless. However, we must eliminate terrorist arsenal from the network of these private and public computer and Internet crime. 2.25 million in North America (Nelson – NetRatings Inc. Internet users), the dominant personal computer and at the same time the Internet is most at risk. Millions of personal computers in the “Zombie Master” control. Red Herring technology magazine business, it is estimated 172,000 in 2005, computers hijacked and taken over the day, the word “Zombie” and controlled by hackers. By 2007, Secure Computing, tracking online landscape, identified more than 500,000 per day, was kidnapped in “Zombie” herders manage the new loan. Just two years ago Triple stage. Federal Bureau of Investigation says that because of its ability wideley distributed, Botnets are a growing threat to national security, national information infrastructure and economy.
Damage to the computer on the Internet, the total number is unknown, but the text Sisera Fu, the father of the Internet is estimated that about 1.5 million personal computers connected to the Internet is part of Botnets. According to FBI reports and other independent researchers, these numbers may be much higher. A typical home computer connected to the “always on” broadband facilities, serious damage of malicious software (viruses, spyware, trojans, keyloggers, etc.), usually without degradation of their ordinary business, made “Zombie master their” bid. Hacker attacks, virus proliferation, denial of assault services outside diameter (DoS), personal data, identity fraud, keyloggers, spam, pornography distribution theft, spyware, network camera, click fraud and many other attacks network are now almost all through well organized Botnets .
The purpose of computer security does not exist, they are designed to perform complex work. As long as a complex computer, each computer has 65,000 ports open (door) in the Internet, a simple factor, so that they are vulnerable. You may ask why people want to control a Zombie group for several reasons. Whether you want to use their service denial to reduce server bank, a large company or a competitor. Essentially, as long as the computer say “Hello” to another computer, the computer must respond with “hello” again. A “shepherd, and tens of thousands of computers Zombie” has been under their control, the health of you at the same time as a computer or computer network, it happens. The most likely answer is surprising and PC or server crashes, simply can not respond to multiple hello packets. A botnet can be bought on the black market to carry out attacks. Zombie virus making kits can be bought online, only little or no technical knowledge and provides the future international Cyber-crime and cyber training on waste ground (terrorists) in the breeding grounds.
How can we do? Implementation of new laws, it has been difficult to achieve in some cases not possible to conduct and investigation of transnational crime, not to mention the resources needed is enormous cost and with little success.
How Internet safe? One idea is to improve governance, management, production and technology solutions for secure network applications and ways to strengthen them by insecurity in Internet banking, airports, power stations, to develop. This means first of all to ensure that end users and create awareness, we are responsible for security on the Internet, we all have to “become responsible Internet users.”
The people must make efforts to ensure that our machines run clean and free of malicious software (viruses, spyware, trojans, etc.). This means that the current patches, updates and special software. Also provides each of us to ensure that we do not have our computers safe and reliable service technicians to compromise, there is no malicious software. Services and Invisus PC security service will provide a fully managed security services, including unlimited technical support, computer security as well as some of the options, you will receive a “responsible Cyber Citizen” title.
To require Internet service providers to scan the data traffic, and the laws of their unusual transport network, computer and Internet access, then deny them, until it has been decided that they are not zombies. We also may require Internet services to provide remote patches, updates and software updates. However, Internet service in most of the cost, responsibility, autonomy, support and delivery. Or Internet service to our value added services like Invisus computer security services, not just a simple computing experience, but to provide subscription-based service, is a complete security package to lock at least monthly cost of the end-user computer.
To be successful we need to combine security and convenience. Consumers will not be responsible for their safety. They want to know how their computers and away. Unfortunately we can not cake and eat it too. Time to learn how to maintain a safe and healthy computer (consumers save time and money) of infection, continue to spread and infect other computers in the blank. It need not be technical skills to operate a computer, such as car has no need for technical skills mechanic, but it is important to ensure that your car is in good running condition, not only for their performance, but for safety of others. We have our laws, to ensure the safety of vehicles and their owners are safe. Those who are ignorant about how to keep the car safe to fulfill certain responsibilities to ensure the safety of others and the owners of vehicles. To ensure the safety of others, we need education and grade within the meaning of the rules of the road. You can not drive without insurance or driving license, which means that you have taken, and understand some level of education.
You may not agree, but unfortunately not possible because it may actually be politically, morally require every consumer. . . Along with ignorance, poverty and even rich by law to maintain a reasonably safe condition of the computer responsible for the fact that you are guilty until proven innocent. The future may provide the best way to try to educate them, but we can not set up “computer driving license.” Similarly, we can provide the necessary consumer to take the necessary measures to ensure that their computer services and professional security software, the latest choice, they sign in to give a clean bill of each; free malicious software.
