Computer Security (1x10)

Exibido em:: Jan 22, 2005

It's about vulnerability... Your home computer is a popular target for intruders: they want what you've stored there. They look for credit card numbers, bank account information, and anything else they can find. By stealing that information, intruders can use your money to buy goods and services for themselves. But it's not just money-related information they're after: they also want your computer's resources, meaning your hard disc space, your fast processor, and your Internet connection. They use them to attack other computers on the Internet. In fact, the more computers an intruder uses, the harder it is for law enforcement to figure out where the attack is really coming from. If intruders can't be found, they can't be stopped, and they can't be prosecuted.
