Donald,
We live in a big fear of having my devices hacked by someone and be cyber attacks victims. In my opinion law has to be playing a big rile to protect us, this can of justice moves to press charges on people who attack others will teach a lesson to others who think about doing the something.
Thank you for the article. -

Jonathan,
I don’t believe that only experts have to be aware of IT security. Everyone has to be cautious about it and does the best to secure their small devices such as Phones or Laptops. We recently live in a world where IT is part of of every single detail of it. Starting from doorbell to thermostat to our cars that became very smart lately.

Fraser,
I don’t believe that UBER was hacked. UBER had a long history on setting on setting customers and drivers data. They always come with new stories about been victims.
A quick search on Google will give you the statistics about how many times UBER was hacked. -

Fraser,
I do believe protecting usernames and passwords very important to insure the continuity of any business. We will continue seeing new methods to access our accounts. In my opinion, some arts to produce and design new login methods will be very helpful to break down the algorithms that attackers develop everyday to attack people. -

Jonathan,
I do agree with you, anything happens to american banks will reflect automatically the country economy. That’s the reason why the government gets involved on regulate this domain. All american banks have to follow those regulations to be protected from any cyber attacks that can happen.
Thank you for such a great article. -

Richard,
Thank you for the article. My question at this point will be; why there use this methods only in African countries?The answer to this question is very simple, there are no regulations or law that protect people in those countries. Which means they can be good targets for so many cyber attackers.

Donald,
I don’t think that our phones and personal devices will be the biggest threats in the future. There have all our personal information such as photos, locations, and our contacts. I do believe that so many non trusted applications can be the main source to attack those devices. The problem is they can’t provide a patching and they are not…[Read more] -

These number help us to be careful with all the emails we receive. I think that emails are the easiest tools most of attackers use to harm other people computers.

There will be always new ways to attach people and organizations. The biggest question would be, do these organizations such as bank do the right things to protect us?

Organizations should define the tools that suppose to be used to monitoring and maintaining the security level of the IT resources. It has a lot to do with the job roles demands to use these tools. -

Ahmed,
These tools are tested and certified, using them won’t be a big issue. However, non every IT employee should be able to use these tools as well as the other employees who are not belong to the IT department. In other word, restriction from using these tools should be applied depends to people roles after a discussion. -

Fred,
Bring Your Own Devise (BYOD) can be a very conflict issue with security. In so many cases, people don’t really realize that using their personal devises for work can lead to many security issues. Most of companies force their employees to be connected to IT resources using devises work since most of them use VPN as a secured way. - Load More
