Security Basics for Computer Users
Whether you’re using a computer connected to the Internet from on or off campus, your computer is a target. Hackers are often looking for credit card numbers, bank account information and any other information they can use for their own gain. It's not just money-related information they're after; once they invade a computer, intruders can use the hard disk, processor and Internet connection to attack other computers. Many personal (home) computers are especially vulnerable because in general the average computer user does not realize the risks of being on a network and the protections that are available to guard against these threats. All computer users need to educate themselves and understand the threats in order to more effectively protect their personal information and computer systems.
