Q: Why would someone want to hack into my family's home computers? Neither I or our computer have anything of value.
This is one of the most common misconceptions today amongst
parents. You may be surprised, but ordinary people and their
home computers are one of the primary targets on the Internet
today. Both your personal information and your computer can
be used, traded or sold for a money. Multiple that by the
millions of other computers and victims on the Internet and
you begin to understand how criminals can make so much money.
Criminals today are highly organized using sophisticated tools
that automate the process of attacking millions of victims. It has
become extremely profitable, and the problem will most likely only
become worse.
