I can remember when we talked about Trojans we were talking about the name of a condom. Now days Trojans are those nasty infectious Malware who allows a hacker to take over your computer. The Trojan appears to preform a desirable function like a condom but instead makes your computer vulnerable.
This is how it works:
The sad truth is you don’t have to have personal communication with the hacker in order to open yourself up to them. If you download something from a hacker. The following list of things could happen.
- i.e to preform spamming using your computer as the sender
- performing a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack using your computer as the attacker, among 1000 others which are infected as well
- steal passwords, credit card information, etc.
- install software, malware, adware
- downloading or uploading of files
- modification or deletion of files
- keystroke logging
- viewing the user’s screen
- wasting computer storage space
I recently have been reading more about hacking and how it done and by whom it is done by. It would appear the violators are people out to make a fast buck from people who are naive to their intentions. If they aren’t after money they are after your identity and location. Maybe you have angered the beast and this is an act of retaliation. What ever the motive you are been hacked and you may be wondering who is responsible. The best way to narrow the odds down is by thinking back to what you have downloaded and who from.
Unfortunately, you don’t even have to sleep with the hacker to get infected with STD’s. A Trojan can get to you through someone sending you spam email or just downloading something that looks like an e-card but isn’t one.
Once you open it up you have been had.
Hackers hit anytime but the holiday season seems to bring them out to party and pimp. Yes, like a party boy or girl looking for the next good time. While they are asleep or actually doing a legit job during the course of the day they have developed a means to hack into your computer and raping you.
But face it it isn’t generated towards one gender. Men get hit as hard as women if they don’t know what to look for. In most cases the sites vary that men and women visit yet both sexes are being victimized by phony sports or porno sites too shopping online and the downloads popping up that look sort of real but are photoshop images made to look like your computer.
If you get thrown off by this and download I hope your security and firewall can prevent them from entering. 
In my case I had my husband and a couple of good friends who posted online security articles to protect myself. Men and women are both exposed to these hackers. Don’t let them get to you!
Do you have a story or tip to share with me.
I would love your feedback!
