WHAT ARE CYBER SAFETY THREATS
Viruses
Viruses infect computers through email
attachments and file sharing. They delete files,
attack other computers, and make your
computer run slowly and can cause problem for
the whole network..
Hackers
Hackers are people who “trespass” into your
computer from a remote location. They may use
your computer to send spam or viruses, host a
Web site and cause computer malfunctions.
Identity Thieves
Spyware
People who obtain unauthorized access to your
personal information, such as Social Security and
financial account numbers. They then use this
information to commit crimes such as fraud or
theft.
Spyware is software that “piggybacks” on programs
you download, gathers information about your
online habits, and transmits personal information
without your knowledge.
These cyber-safety threats are responsible for
