If people are using the internet for the wrong reasons such as cyber bullying someone, then serious consequences will be faced by the person that is doing it. You can not access certain websites in college as they are blocked by the colleges server. When you go onto YouTube on the colleges internet, some videos are not on YouTube as they have set guidelines on the website from which some videos are not able to be seen. ]]> 2018-05-03 13:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/AYA17002176/vddsva2ou6nu/wish/257635423 Virus Protection sha16284735 https://padlet.com/AYA17002176/vddsva2ou6nu/wish/257635433  A virus is usually hidden, and can do a number of things, as it relates to the health of the computer. A few examples are provided below:  Make a computer run slowly  Prevent computers from booting up  Damage parts of the system or amend how the system operates without the owner's knowledge  Be used to steal personal details  Move from machine to machine on a network  Attack other machines using machine as a host  Send out unauthorized messages 

 Antivirus software protects the computer from incoming threats and seeks out, destroys and warns of possible threats to the system. New viruses are coming out all the time. It is the job of the antivirus software to keep up with the latest threats. This is achieved by daily updates of the antivirus database definitions, which counteract the latest threats to provide constant protection. 

Examples of virus protection software are:
Avast, Mcafee, Windows defender and many more.]]> 2018-05-03 13:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/AYA17002176/vddsva2ou6nu/wish/257635433 Security shahali924 https://padlet.com/AYA17002176/vddsva2ou6nu/wish/257635709 Now, security is a major policy in any organisation, especially in IT. In IT support, they will not take any precautions. Backing up data to another server or outsourced company will be done on a regular basis, to make sure that if anything goes down or gets tampered with, they have multiple spares located elsewhere. Some companies have policies on USB sticks and external hard drives at work, some allows this, and others, not so much. The risks that come with this is that work can be stolen and copied onto memory sticks, also, unsafe USB sticks can have viruses on them, which can potentially be harmful to the system.
Having an anti-virus software of some type is also a must, as this will stop any malicious software, hackers or viruses from accessing the companies system, and it's the same with a Firewall as well, as this will stop anything from breaching the network.
Doing a regular virus check is needed in any company, not just in IT.

The Computer Misuse Act which was introduced in the year 1990 is designed to protect computer users against harmfull attacks and theft of information.
Offences under the act include hacking, unauthorised access to computer systems and purposefully spreading malicious and damaging software (Malware), such as viruses. 

 
There are three offences under:

  1. Accessing computer material without permission, eg looking at someone else's files.
  2. Accessing computer material without permission with intent to commit further criminal offences, eg hacking into the bank's computer and wanting to increase the amount in your account.
  3. Altering computer data without permission, eg writing a virus to destroy someone else's data, or actually changing the money in an account. 


 The two "hackers" managed to get access to Prince Phillip's personal message box. They did this, when they were visiting an ICT trade fair, by surreptitiously observing a BT engineer entering a user name of 1234 and a password of 22222222.
The case against Gold and Schifreen took place in 1988.
