About Internet Security Threats

Here are some of the frequently asked questions about internet security to provide you with more information about this important issue that affects all online businesses:

• What is a Trojan virus? A Trojan is effectively a program that pretends to be legitimate software — but, when launched, it will perform a harmful action. Trojans are installed secretly and they deliver their malicious payload without the user’s knowledge.
• What is phishing? This is a very specific type of cybercrime that is designed to trick you into disclosing valuable information — such as details about your bank account or credit cards. Often, cybercriminals will create a fake website that looks just like a legitimate site and will generally ask you to type in confidential data — such as your login, password or PIN.
• What is spyware? This is a software designed to collect your data and send it to a third party — without your knowledge or consent.
