Saturday, September 1st, 2007While surfing in the web, you are typing some address to open the homepage of a website but your browser opening the wrong one. It may happen for many Netizen. Does some one doing so? A question may come in your mind.
This problem is generated by some unknown Hackers. As a Netizen you must be angry about this astonishing occurrence. Now a day Hackers are not doing this kind of child’s play. But they are not sleeping like tortoise. They expand their work load and causing head ach for many giants in the field of network security. Some authentic websites are also worried about hackers. Your PC is not secured from those spy Hackers. The primer websites that related to the services like tourism, gaming and hotels are anxious about those Hackers. They developed some way to get into your system through legal operation. You would be wonder your system is using by the hackers as a proxy server and that is also anonymously. The hackers need data that stored in your system. So they steal the data from your system a leave it defenseless to other attacks. The technical logic they used in this whipping process is also interesting. As because of high speed broadband present WebPages are loaded with wicked codes. When ever you are visiting those website these iniquitous codes create an unauthorized logger. They called a ‘Key-logger’. Millions of Net users are trapped by that ‘Key-logger’ and they steal user passwords or use Netizen’s system a proxy server. This kind of attacks for a while crashes the system. And you are not in a position to recover your valuable data that stored in the system. This infection transmitter can enter to you system by a simple email also. While they are about their normal web-surfing, Netizens get an unidentified email send by the hackers. In that they are asked to click on some compromised URLs. The Netizens are oblivious to the threat while they are about their web-surfing tricks. The hacker’s infection spreading system is done in a complex chain. But website owners are innocent about that their compromise.
Hackers are doing their business depending on others well ascertain assets. A Website that provides some services like tourism, gaming, music and hotels etc. invites some advertisement. The hackers in the form of advertiser client inserted some malicious Internet protocol address in their ads to redirect the user to another site. Those WebPages are loaded with wicked codes. This continues to different level URLs until the user logout. A Trojan is used for doing this activity. It a kind of software that can salvage code words or passwords from your system and invite all the hackers to infect it. To avoid this kind of occurrence think twice of the WebPages those require software installation. Avoid new software installation from the browser. Scan your system with updated anti-virus software before downloading any program from the Internet. Never trust an email without scanning with anti-virus and enjoy a happy surfing.
