3. Email Spoofing - is the creation of emails with a forged sender address. The goal of email
spoofing is to get recipients to open, respond and engage with the email message. Email
spoofing can greatly increase the effectiveness of phishing and other email-based cyber-
attacks by tricking the recipient into trusting the email and its sender (Tunggal 2019). It is
usually used by spammers to hide the origin of the spam.
Phishing – is a deceitful practice of getting your personal information using email or text
messages. Scammers may try to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security
numbers. If they get that information, they could gain access to your email, bank, or other
accounts (Federal Tr. Comm. ’19)
Pharming - is a scamming practice in which malicious code is installed on a personal
computer or server, misdirecting users to fraudulent Web sites without their knowledge or
consent. This happened when the code sent in an e-mail modifies local host files on a
personal computer. A computer with a compromised host file will go to the fake Web site
even if a user types in the correct Internet address or clicks on an affected bookmark entry
(Rouse, Pharming n.d.).
Computer Viruses - are small programs or scripts that can negatively affect the health of
your computer. These malicious little programs can create files, move files, erase files,
consume your computer's memory, and cause your computer not to function correctly.
Some viruses can duplicate themselves, attach themselves to programs, and travel across
networks. In fact, opening an infected e-mail attachment is the most common way to get a
virus (Christensson, Virus Definition 2011).
Spyware – a program that runs in the background without you knowing it. It has the ability
to monitor what you are currently doing and typing through keylogging. Hacker - a clever or
expert programmer who can gain unauthorized access to other computers. He can "hack"
his way through the security levels of a computer system or network (Christensson, Hacker
Definition 2006). And can vandalizes the victims’ website, steals personal information,
obtains intellectual property, and performs credit card fraud.
The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new
friends, and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment. But like
most things in this world, there is always “another side of the coin.” The Internet is one
of the most dangerous places, especially if you do not know what you are doing.
