We are living in information age. Almost every thing depends on digital information, is it not so? We are flooded with various type of devices from various kind of 'smart devices'.
Companies are working hard to get most out of this digital age and are coming up with latest gadgets that, of course, are not making our daily life easy but somehow complex as well. Recently Panasonic has come up with latest appliances that can be controlled by Android based devices, literally from any where in the world :-).
So we all are running on digital highway. So far so good. But this all has some 'dark side' as well. Bad guys (known as hackers) are also on this 'digital highway' and are constantly looking for 'loopholes' left unwilling some where to exploit. So it becomes absolute necessary to keep ourselves safe from the bad guys.
But how? This is a question worth millions. First of all, be conscious. Use of common sense (that we normally don't like to use :-) while using the internet. Be very very careful while revealing 'personal information' on the web, i.e. on Social Networking sites. Avoid to share personal and family information (like photos, video) on these sites.
Most important of all the digital assets is email. It contains both personal and professional records that are of paramount importance for all of us. In corporate world, users are provided training about how to protect their email and data. But most of the home users are not aware of it. I found an interesting article and would like my audience of read and follow it.
