- Viruses, Trojan Horses, and other
hacker invasions - How to protect your computer.
- BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER DATA!! All hard drives WILL fail
sooner or later.
BE SURE TO STORE BACKUPS AT A DIFFERENT PHYSICAL
LOCATION.Copying files is better than backing up files. Backing up files is
dependent on the version of backup software. Updated backup software may not
restore files backed up with older backup software versions! One remedy -
Copying files isn't dependent on the version or operating system. And, consider
using encryption for sensitive information!
- Computer data can be compromised so easily! CIA officials
determined that a CIA head and also the No. 2 defense official from 1993 to
1995) improperly recorded government secrets in a private journal in his home
computers about his government experiences. His home computers were also used
to access the Internet. They noted that some computers the ex-official used
at home were donated to schools without the hard drives being destroyed. When
investigators located the computers, they were able to recover significant
Pentagon information. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER HOW YOU DISPOSE
OF YOUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL COMPUTERS.!!!
- NEVER ALLOW INSTALLATION OF GAMES OTHER THAN WHAT CAME WITH ANY
COMPUTER USED FOR STORING OR PROCESSING BUSINESS INFORMATION. They may
DELIBERATELY have monitoring devices (Trojan Horses) that are planted by their
programs. They can be a real danger to your business secrets!
