In the first group, we have the hackers, the fraudsters, the scamers, and those that make use of virus and other malicious and destructive programs and codes for their dubious reasons.
In the second group, we have the site supervisors, the site validators, testimonial evaluators, and others who are responsible for the creation of programs and soft-wares to checkmate the activities of the first group in order to ensure online safety and internet security.
However, in between the two groups, are millions of ordinary net users who depend on the net for one thing or the other for their upward mobility in life. This group can still be divided into
two, on one hand, we have the minority group who have the technical know-how to defend themselves against all these cyber attacks, while on the other, we have the majority group running
into millions of ordinary users who are exposed to all these attacks on daily basis in the courseof surfing the net. [ I happen to belong to this majority group ].
In view of all these, one has to be Safety Conscious in order not to be a victim, and to know
what to look out for in a site before embarking on any serious business online. Some of the things to look out for include,
[1] How credible and trustworthy is the site you want to visit.
[2] In case of a marketing site, Are the testimonials displayed truthful ?
[3] Can the site ensure security of your personal and private information including Pass-words
and Credit cards details.
[4] Protection of Servers, PC, Lap Tops, and other browsing devices from cyber attacks.
All this, and other Topics will be treated in other articles later on.
Have a pleasant experience on the web
Best Regards.
