A firm hacker is ball-buster to stop. But those unpleasant foolish would rather walk through an open door than pick a lock writes Michael Fitzgerald of Extreme Tech.

With all of the viruses, worms, trojan horses, and other new phenomenon called by old words running rampant, how do we provide a little peace of mind for ourselves and our workplaces? Like locking our house, stopping the mail, or adding a security system to our home or automobile, there are some simple things we can do to make it less attractive or at least less obvious to be the next target of these malicious acts.

What, you say! My process is not and has not been violent. I am a consensus attached device and would not even hurt a fly. What happens when that fly decides to hurt your? Violence in neighborhoods is still rampant and you live close by. People get robbed, raped, and beat upon on a regular basis going from work to home or home to stores or just traveling on what they would think is a safe street.

Many of us, fortunately, have learned ways of avoiding attacks and the violent subculture that thrives in and around our lives.

Living Digitized
The electronic amble of notice permeates the fibers of every business. Try to trigger a establishment without accessing the binary realm - bets are that even the cash register used to ring your favorite morning beverage is accessing electronic data. Today, business survival and success depends on immediate connectivity and data communication.

Living in a digitized world has altered modes of business communication as well. Shooting a quick email off with a pricing quote or sending an answer to a email query are just as commonplace as a client call. Email has evolved into the standard mass communications tool, whether it be message communications or as a document courier. According to Pew Internet Research a mere decade ago, just 15% of adults in the US went online, today that number has jumped to 63%(1).

"On a informal week at the carry off of 2004, some 70 million American adults logged onto the internet to gravy train email, get news, access government information, check out health and medical information, participate in auctions, book travel reservations, research their genealogy, gamble, seek out romantic partners and engage in countless other activities. That represents a 37% increase from the 52 million adults who were online on an average day in 2000".(2)

The statistics show that the internet and email flood our very existence. A business enterprise cant be effective or successful without accommodating its wired clientele. Email is now such an integral part of the work world that a USA Today survey found that given a choice between giving up morning coffee or the ability to use the internet at work, 52% chose coffee(3).
