2. 5. The Importance of Computer and
Internet Security (BCGA)
• Why?
– Technology is evolving every day and more people
are using it for more important things in their
life's.
– We feel that without the knowledge of security,
potentially it could be a disaster to your life. E.g.
credit card details, Social Security, address etc.

4. Internet Crimes
• FRAUD - refers to the use of internet services to present
fraudulent solicitations to prospective victims, to conduct
fraudulent transactions, or to transmit the proceeds of fraud
to financial institutions or to others connected with the
scheme.
• HACKING – many different forms but most common is
entering a network which is intended to be private or
changing the content of another person’s web site.
(Adebanjo)

5. Crimes Cont.
• SCAMS -A typical Internet scam is to put up a bogus Web site
which is just a front for criminal activity. Only slightly more
sophisticated is the ‘get rich quick’ site. This offers grants or
payments in return for credit card or bank account details.
• CYBERSTALKING – Cyber stalking is the use of the Internet or
other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, a
group of individuals, or an organization.

6. What is a computer virus and how
do you get one?
• A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself
and infect a computer.
HOW YOU GET A COMPUTER VIRUS
• One of the most frequent ways of acquiring a computer virus
is by booting from an infected diskette
• Opening files that are shared
• Downloading off the internet
• Attachments in emails

7. PREVENTIONS OF INTERNET
VIRUSES
• Always be cautious about opening attachments you receive in an email.
Especially if the mail comes from someone you do not know.
• When you need to distribute a Microsoft Word file to someone, send the
RTF (Rich Text Format) file instead. By doing this, you can ensure that you
won't be sending an infected file.
• Change your system's CMOS Setup configuration to prevent it from
booting from the diskette drive.
• Be cautious about the information you provide on the internet
• Beware of hackers.
• Download music from secure online programs such as iTunes.
