Cyber threats to file sharing
Sharing files between a work computer and a home computer is the most common way to transfer malware-infected files. This is usually done over USB. Sharing forwarded email messages (from friends) or images or slideshows (as attachments) is also a source of malware (viruses) that spread to business computers. Business owners should install internet security (antivirus) that scans USBs as soon as they are plugged into a USB port and also scans emails for malicious links and attachments…
Apple device myth
“Apple devices do not have viruses” is a myth held by many people who love Apple (entrepreneurs). This myth keeps people away from investing in antivirus for Mac (Apple devices). Macs, iPhones and iPads are at risk of being infected by viruses and spreading them to other devices that use other operating systems (operating systems) such as Windows, Android, Ubuntu, Linux… Devices with other operating systems can then be infected by malware hosted on Apple devices, even if that malware does not cause problems on Apple devices, it will cause problems on the other OS-based devices. There is antivirus for mac to protect Apple devices. And there are Internet security protection (antivirus) licenses that can be used on multiple operating systems (OS), that is, they are used on Windows PCs, iOS-based Apple laptops (iMacs), and Android smartphones. .. Internet marketing entrepreneurs must use Apple devices to submit their products to Apple, ie iBooks, magazines on iTunes. App developers must also use Apple computers to submit their apps to Apple. Therefore, these entrepreneurs need to secure their Apple devices to protect their intellectual property from cyber threats (malware and hacking).
hacked autoresponder
Business owners (entrepreneurs) doing internet marketing or online marketing use autoresponders to send a series of emails to prospects with the goal of converting them into customers. Cyber criminals use cyber threat tactics such as phishing to infect computers with spyware or keyloggers to steal usernames and passwords from autoresponders. Then spam everyone on the email list. This is why Internet marketers should start by protecting their devices with Internet security or endpoint security in a network and server environment.
anti-theft technology
Anti-theft technology can be used to protect, track, and recover both your devices and lost or stolen device information. Anti-theft technology can be used on laptops (or PCs) and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Anti-theft technology comes as software that you can install on computing devices. It also comes as a combination of hardware and software pre-installed on some portable devices. For mobile devices, anti-theft technology comes as apps. Business owners either don’t know about this technology or know about it but don’t invest in it, even when devices have been stolen from their business premises. Business owners need to consider the value of the business information they lose when a device is stolen or the business information that will end up in the wrong hands with a lost device. The anti-theft technology comes with a tool that can remotely wipe business information on the lost or stolen device…
social engineering warning
Social engineering is one of the tricks cybercriminals use to trick people into giving them their usernames and passwords. Social engineering tricks are combined with phishing, so you will not easily detect this cyber threat. Business owners often receive emails (with their bank logos and colours) to give their internet (online) banking details. Always be wary of emails that claim to be from your bank and ask for your online banking details.
