“To blame others is human”-agreed?
Have you ever imagined that hackers will put the blame on us (the users) for security breach?
Yes, it is true. When we always blamed the hardware or software for password thefts, hackers and professionals point their fingers on users only.
The world’s premier hacker conference DefCon, held in Las Vegas last week, threw a different light on this vexing issue.
How many times users left their passwords on open note books, kept in slips under the keyboard in spite of warnings that they see in their everyday work?
The fact that legendry hacker Kevin Mitnic’s notorious attacks were based more on manipulating people than software, should make us listen to the professionals more seriously.
The conference reminded the internet world, the number of times users have fallen easy prey to phishing emails. In fact I was one of the victims last week.
We can stuff our pc with as many antivirus and firewall as possible, but if we don’t stay alert, none can save us.
