Cyber Security Do’s and Don’ts for Work and Home
Computers, tablets, phones, SCADA systems are all vulnerable.
As mainstream computer operating software providers "harden" their products against attack, malicious computer code is being introduced into alternate forms of electronic communication such as alternate devices and digital music, on-line gaming, fake web sites, and email file attachments.
Malicious software – cyber attacks are increasingly sophisticated and being generated by state sponsored computer specialists or organized crime computer specialists.
