Cyber security

[Audio] Good morning everyone, We are here to discuss cyber security, one of the most important topics facing our world. We will be exploring what cyber security is, where it came from, and the various types of cybercrime. Let's get started..

[Audio] Cybersecurity is an indispensable tool in the digital world, protecting our computers and the internet from malicious actors. It seeks to prevent theft, break-ins, or tampering with our online presence or sensitive data. With more and more aspects of our daily lives transitioning into the digital realm, it is imperative to give priority to cybersecurity in order to remain secure in the digital world..

[Audio] Cyber Security is a necessity in our lives, for protecting us from cyber criminals who have the intention of causing us harm. It prevents data breaches, disruption of services and devices, upholding privacy, financial safety and unhindered operation of systems, which are essential elements in our daily lives. Cyber Security is the means of preserving security and dependability in our interconnected world..

[Audio] Cybercrime is an increasingly prevalent issue, with criminals becoming ever more adept in using modern technology to cause harm. It can encompass a range of activities, from data theft to business disruption and fraudulent activities. While detecting and thwarting cybercrime can be a complex exercise, it is essential in order to ensure our security. All individuals should take serious precautions to protect their own information from those with malicious intentions..

[Audio] Ian Murphy, also known as Captain Zap, was found guilty of cybercrime in 1981 for hacking an American telephone company. This creative yet illegal activity is widely considered to be the beginning of cybercrime..

[Audio] The concept of computer hacking and manipulation of data is not a new one, but it wasn't until 1981 that it was officially classified as crime. That year marked the conviction of Ian Murphy, otherwise known as Captain Zap, for the unauthorized access of computers. This was the first of many steps in the development of a field that now plays a major role in the world of online security..

[Audio] Cyber security is an incredibly important issue today, and incidents of cybercrime are on the rise. Cybercrime can take many forms, like the phishing attack, identity theft, botnet, internet fraud, and job scam. It's important to be aware of how cyber attackers operate and to protect yourself from such threats. Nothing is more valuable than your security, so it's important to take every step necessary to keep your digital world safe..

[Audio] Hackers can use malicious phishing websites to gain access to victims' important credentials. A phishing mail is sent to the target with a link to the fake website, and when the victim clicks on the link and visits it, the hacker collects the credentials. This can be used to access private information, so it is important to be aware of malicious phishing websites in order to protect personal information from cyber security threats..

[Audio] Identity theft is an ever-increasing problem, causing serious financial and emotional pain to its victims. It occurs when someone illicitly acquires and uses another person's private information without their consent, to access their financial resources or procure credits. Criminals may use a myriad of techniques such as stealing mail or creating phishing traps to get hold of personal data for their own financial gain. Everyone must be wary and strive to protect themselves while utilizing the internet..

[Audio] Botnets are cyber threats that can have serious consequences for individuals, businesses and governments. A botnet is a network of computers that have been infected with malicious software and connected to the same network. They are designed to allow a person or group of people to control the computers remotely, often for criminal purposes. These can include sending spam, stealing data, launching distributed denial of service attacks and gaining access to the computers and their connections. Botnets can be prevented by installing security software and regularly updating operating systems, as well as by educating users about the potential threats..

[Audio] Internet fraud is an increasing menace that must not be taken lightly. Criminals try to pilfer our information and finances through various means such as concealing the truth or providing false details. To keep ourselves secure, we must remain alert and take measures to secure our data and money online..

[Audio] Job fraud is a serious risk that affects many job seekers. The con artist usually reaches out to their targets either by telephone or email, proposing a job position or remote work. However, what they won't inform the victims is that they won't receive any kind of payment. Unfortunately, what they seek is victims' personal data or financial information. To defend yourself from these types of scams, you should always be wary of job offers that don't require in-person interviews and those that come from untrusted sources..

[Audio] All of us make use of the internet on a daily basis, and it is vital to make sure we make use of it responsibly and securely. To shield yourself from cybercrime, initially make sure to employ a full-service internet security suite. Additionally, use strong passwords and make sure your software is up to date. On top of that, it is sensible to adjust your social media settings and fortify your home network. To conclude, remaining informed about key security breaches is essential. Taking these preventive steps can aid you in protecting yourself online..

[Audio] We appreciate your taking the time to listen and hope you have learnt something new about cyber security and staying safe online. We hope you have a great rest of your day. Thank you..
