I’m currently researching information on Hacking to share to readers of this blog. I purchased some magazines and am searching the NET. I have to be careful on two fronts with this subject, one that I understand the issue that I read and two that I can put it in words that anyone who reads the post can understand. I just started to read an article and I didn’t even understand what the heading meant. Well, I had a very small inkling, but, that is all. I’ve done articles on Spam, Spyware, Backups, Phishing, Security, and found that Hacking is a good subject to add to this range of topics. Anyone from a System Administrator down to a regular everyday home PC user needs to have a concern with this subject. If you have an Internet connection, you could be vulnerable.
Why am I reading computer related magazines? Yes, to get information, but, to see what is going on out there in Computer-Land. You just never know what lies around the corner. I heard of a device that even if your PC is turned off, someone can turn it on from another location. Now, this was a long time ago. I don’t even remember what it was called. The catch was that the PC had to be plugged in. I saw this take place and was instantly amazed.
