Don’t think that you won’t be affected by a DDoS attack,
because any computer is vulnerable to attack no matter how hard you try to
protect it.
The malware could be installed on your PC without you even
knowing, by clicking on an infected link or visiting a malicious website. Once
your computer is contaminated your precious data is either lost, stolen or
destroyed.
It is so important for you to make sure that your antivirus
software is up-to-date, as well as to ensure that your PC has the latest
security patches installed and a reliable firewall in pace. If you do not have
any kind of protection you will become a target for hackers.
The digital forensic experts at DLA encourage everyone to
install an antivirus program that is trustworthy before it is too late, however
if your data is lost do not hesitate to contact them!
Connected devices such as smart phones and other smart devices
can also become victims of a DDoS attack. To protect these devices you need to
always make sure you have downloaded the most recent security updates.
