From the video we saw in our ICT class, there were some important facts that people should be aware of while using the computer. Most of time, when a computer has been hiked, you will not be able to notice it. This is because there seems to be no symptoms. Criminals are able to control their computer and obtain access to other peoples private information: such as bank accounts, nationality, passwords, and much more. The software that the criminals are using is called botnet, through a phishing format, (e-mails will be sent to your e-mail boxes) the useres might easiely persuade you to give out their privite information under the circumstances that they don’t even know it was a trap.
Botnet- Botnet is a computer term for a collection of software robots, or bots, that run autonomously and automatically. A bot typically runs hidden and uses a covert channel to communicate with its server. Generally, the perpetrator of the botnet has compromised a series of systems using various tools.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS)- Distributed Denial of Service is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users.
Essentials security that can help us avoid a Botnet:
1. Enable Operating System Updates
2. Firewall
3. Anti-virus
