Can it be that easy?

Are you in the dark about how hackers work? To some extent we all are. This blog is intended to familiarize you with how hackers tap into corporate and personal computers, and what might be done to prevent such attacks. Our goal is certainly not to make you paranoid, but we don't think staying ignorant abut the issues is advisable either.

We try to keep it simple and current. We'll touch on hacker tactics, comment on major attacks and related newsworthy items, and pass along tips from the experts on "hacker-proofing" your computer or network.

To get things rolling, here's a link to a video from BBCWorld that demonstrates how easily it can be done in some instances.

If you have questions or comments on any of the material you find in this blog, be sure to use the Comments link under each posting.
