「保留清楚地一切門」
因為我們結束2007年，我認為我與您在讀書會分享愛德・上星期送的一個被發電子郵件的安全公報Gibson，首要安全顧問在我們的微軟英國辦公室，提供一個柔和的提示採取必要的預先警戒措施保證您是安全的，當使用網時。 愛德提及，如果您是連續窗口景色，您已經有 眾多的工具在您的處置 幫助保留您的個人計算機和數據保險櫃，當您是網上的。 然而，它是 總 一個好想法保證那些apps和工具最新和現在是一樣好時期像其中任一。 如此直到2008年…
「保留清楚地一切門」
您看見了它，讀它，聽見它許多次您遮蔽了它…慣例，世俗…，但您本能地採取必要的防備措施。 并且認為他們的蠢貨能摔打門為了哎呀緣故…某一牌子它，最不…，當他們將學會。 即使，我懷疑，當下次您在支架的裡面在地下聽見此講了話在對講機或者讀警告標記您採取其次額外真正地確定一切是清楚的門。 「為什麼？」，您要求。 「由於您有正義讀了此!」 沒有不同比許多時代您看您的手錶，別人然後問您幾點它是; 您不可能記住，因此您再看。
平凡，當它來到是更加安全網上的，同樣申請。 過去一年您買了全新的科技目前進步水平， RAM， 600g比您將拿著更多材料的硬盤個人計算機2g或我在一生可能填滿。 它用自由反發送同樣的消息到多個新聞組，抗病毒軟件裝載了，并且一切很好去，您不更新您的軟件(默認情況下窗口景色有』打開的`更新，因此，除非您弄亂它，您是好的)，實際上那麼很好跑週期性anti-malware掃瞄，并且無線優良不運轉那麼需要檢查。 您聞悉[英國]政府的 GetSafeOnline.org 競選那個e海灣，微軟， HSBC，家庭辦公室， SOCA，并且其他參與，您看了恆定的新聞文章關於數據損失或偷竊從最大公司和政府機構(并且，如果您是HMRC `datagate的受害者』，您有每權利惱怒)，但嘿，您未影響…為什麼做任何東西。 網上罪行的受害者…不是我，仅發生在去`錯誤站點』…的那些人身上誰設法通過門做它為了哎呀緣故，他們應該更好知道。
不那麼快速地ItAin先生』 tGonnaHappenToMe。 That ‘other person’ is going to be you if you don’t take a few moments to make sure your operating system and software are up to date, that your firewall is turned on (both are already done for you if you are operating Windows Vista) your anti-spam and anti-virus software are installed and updated (don’t forget to renew your subscription to the anti-malware software if it is about to expire).
Organized criminals are ‘green’, ’socially conscious agnostics’, they want what is best for you - NOT!! Just like machines, THEY DON’T CARE who you are, where you grew up, what kind of accent you have, whether you’re beautiful (or like me, a face made for radio); they operate without regard to your sex or religious affiliations - I call them “THE EQUALIZERS”. They want what is yours - from your bank account, your identity, or even a bit of your bandwidth - oh yes, they can quite happily use your computer while you do and you may not ever know.
As we approach the Holidays, don’t let the Grinch of Christmas Past ruin your holidays online. Possibly, ‘just because you read this’, you will take a moment and run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, will visit GetSafeOnline.org, or possibly even give the most important cyber gift of all - a trip to the wild side, WindowsMarketplace.com (click on Security Downloads) for free anti-malware. It will take you a few minutes; but a few minutes now might just save you months of hassle down the road.
Do you really want to be calling your credit card companies, bank, credit agency, DVLA, DWP, on New Year’s Eve. Or worse, worry whether someone will be showing up at your doorstep because you couldn’t be bothered to spend a measly 10 minutes with your kids to talk to them about social networking sites (oh yea, they just told their friends on their Facebook site when you were going to be away)…and you didn’t tell them how to prevent outsiders from accessing their pages. Nor did you tell them in no uncertain terms that even when they close their site everything they put on the Internet IS THERE FOREVER. Oh yes, some make it thru the doors, most don’t…when will THEY learn.
I wish you a very happy holiday season - and a safe online journey.
