Don’t let your guard down over the holiday season. This is the time of year that hackers take advantage of the situation and cause chaos in our lives. GET U NOTICED clients, NETCONFIG will help with your personal or business online protection.
BlackFog is a leader in on device privacy, protecting and blocking malicious connections from your device and putting an end to online information gathering. Says Netconfig’s Michael Byrne “This is only a single feature of what BlackFog has to offer. BlackFog is known to stop Ransomware encryptions, crypto mining as well as many other malicious activities on your device. We can never be 100% protected, but by taking the steps to add layers of security to our daily lives, we can slow any attacker down.”
Why do we need it? Explains Byrne “With the advancement of the Internet and how people use it daily for 90% of their tasks, there is no doubt that it has become a major part of our lives. Then there is the Social Media side of it, including sharing photos, locations, thoughts, and even personal information. Do we stop to think at any point where this information is stored? Who has access to it? And how is it being used? Little do we know that online advertising makes use of all this information and that we as individuals have our own internet profile. All the information we share willingly and sometimes not so willingly is used to create this portfolio of what we like and don’t like, who we are with, our habits and interests, and at times, our exact location. Some people may not even know this, but information about the sites we visit is secretly gathered in the background and used on our Internet Profile, and this is exactly how advertisers know how to target us and show us the things we want to see.”
Advertisers are not our only concern however, with this information being easily available, attackers can use this information in a common information-gathering step called Reconnaissance. Gathering this type of information about us gives them a foothold into our lives and allows them to target us with content that may be appealing to us, but is actually malicious and harmful.
