Am I Safe at my computer?
I’ve posed that question and others to myself many times. Are the e-mail’s I send truly secure? Who else can see what I see? Sure in a perfect world we all would like to believe we‘re safe but the simple fact is that we are not safe all the time and the world is not perfect. Nowadays it's really easy to “hack” somebody's computer or account on the social network.
Everyone can be hacked from regular user to government. Your personal data can be stolen and hackers will use it for there own interests. They can blackmail you or if it's a bank account they will just stole your money. With the government situation is much more serious because hackers can steal some really important information and it can cause serious problems. If you are a celebrity hackers can steal your personal photos or just any personal information about you and blackmail you to get money sometimes this information can damage your reputation or even ruin your career. The same can happen with ordinary people.
So how to be safe? Here are some tips that can help.Do not open any e-mail massages or files if you're unsure or suspicious about who sent them. If you do not have anti-virus software, it is highly recommended that you obtain and install anti-virus software on your computer and set it to check all files as they come into your computer.

Personally, I don't think that I'm in some kind of danger while I'm using my computer because I have nothing important on it so even if my computer will be hacked they won't get anything important.
