Drive by Hacking!

|
One of the latest hacking trends is called "Drive-by Hacking". Popular wireless Internet access points have now become a major target for hackers. Hackers simply take their laptop computers in their cars and drive through business parks or residential neighborhoods remotely scanning for open wireless networks. Millions of businesses and homes have implemented these wireless networksfor their convenience, and now hackers can simply pull up outside, up to 600 ft away, and gain access to the network, the Internet, and every computer on the network. This kind of hacking has become so popular, that you can even find public websites that sell maps to all the known "open" wireless networks around the globe.

| Computer users can prepare for a viral infection by creating backups of legitimate original software and data files regularly so that the computer system can be restored if necessary. Viral infection can be prevented by obtaining software from legitimate sources or by using a quarantined computer—that is, a computer not connected to any network—to test new software. Plus, users should regularly install operating system (OS) patches, software updates that mend the sort of flaws, or holes, in the OS often exploited by viruses. Patches can be downloaded from the Web site of the operating system’s developer. However, the best prevention may be the installation of current and well-designed antiviral software. Such software can prevent a viral infection and thereby help stop its spread.
