Phishing / Data Theft
Unexpected bank charges and negative changes to your credit are the tell-tale signs that you have been a victim of Data Theft. There are a few common ways this can occur. Data miners and key loggers are less common these days giving the rise in popularity of Phishing. Fake e-mails and fake websites are the tools of the phisher, as they try to get as much personal info out of you as they can. It takes surprisingly little personal info to steal and destroy a person’s financial identity.
e.g. Fake Emails, Fake Giveaway Websites, Fake Phone calls
Malware
The umbrella term for harmful, infectious threats is Malware. Viruses are separate from malware, however they usually go hand in hand. A lot of viruses open the computer up to install malware, and in turn malware makes the computer more susceptible to viruses. Unfortunately, tradition Virus Protection Programs are powerless over these infections and simply can’t stop them. There are programs that can help, but there is no Silver Bullet to prevent these infections. At SoftQue, we can suggest software and Safe Surfing behaviors that can help keep you safe!
