Cyber Attacks and Internet Security
Introduction
In the world of Internet where we are sharing all important information through networks, security is a major
concern. Computer security, also known as cyber security or IT security, is the protection of computer systems
from the theft or damage to their hardware, software or information, as well as from disruption or misdirection
of the services they provide. Data present in a computer can also be misused by unauthorized intrusions. Malicious
intents can also be a factor in computer security. Intruders often use your computers for attacking other computers
or websites or networks for creating havoc. Vengeful hackers might crash someone’s computer system to create
data loss. A computer security risk is any event or action that could cause a loss or damage to computer hardware,
software, data, or information. Some breaches to computer security are accidental, but some are planned. Any
illegal act involving a computer is generally referred to as a computer crime.
