It was in the mid-July of 2015 when I had just completed compiling the financial report for the company that I work for as the fiscal year was approaching to an end and all the stakeholders were in high spirits to know how the company had fared in the previous twelve months. As my routine, I surfed through the internet and downloaded some of the comprehensive reports that had been published by other a few other companies for the purpose of comparison when the Hell broke loose. I had downloaded a malware with the documents that rendered almost all the programs in my PC dysfunctional. I lost all the data, the data that I had spent twelve months keenly preparing. Lucky enough, I had a backup storage that saved me the shame of negligence. The incidence prompted me to further look for ways to secure my cyber security, an initiative that has worked for me very efficiently.

Cyber security is compromised when the operator(s) are tricked into deviations against secure procedures by the use of various hacking methods or when the operator intentionally follows this deviation. Ensuring safety has been an area of much interest in the recent past, and this has been brought about by an ever increasing use smart’ devices like smartphones and tablets that mostly use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless networks and the internet in bringing their sophistications into perceived reality. The following are vulnerabilities and attacks that compromise the security of computers and other smart devices.
Backdoor
This is a commonly used method of hacking into systems done using a secret methodology that bypasses security controls and normal authentication. Poor configuration and original design are the ones exploited in this attack.
Denial of service Attack
As the term suggests, the attack is aimed at denying the access to services to its intended users. This is done by attackers deliberately entering wrong passwords consecutively beyond the allowed entry trials so as to prompt for the locking of target accounts. It can also be done through overloading the capabilities of a network or a computer system so as to deny access to all its users simultaneously.
Direct Access attack
This is when a hacker physically accesses a computer system copying data to external devices or installing software keyloggers, worms and even using wireless mice.
Phishing
This technique is widely used to attack unsuspecting users who end up giving out their passwords, usernames and even credit card details carried out by instant messaging or spoofing.
