What do you think of the word "Aggressors"?
Usually, you'd think of an aggressive person. Trust me, there are some aggressive people there... just look at politics and government. But just like the devil, you could say that there are other aggressive people that would want you to believe that they didn't exist. People would generally call them "hackers", but the term means way more than it's been used in the general media.
The definition of HACKER used to mean just a person who looks at a system and try to devise a new more unique way to use the system, or reverse figure out how the system works.
We're here to use the term more like how the general populace has started to use it, as an all encompassing term for the type of person or people who use technology for a negative or evil purpose. A hacker is someone to fear, and rightfully so.
There are two types of evil hackers that we should try to protect ourselves from. Those who are not organized and those who are. Unorganized or loosely organized hackers are dangerous because they can take your information and use it for their benefit and most likely against your own benefit. Some of these groups can appear on your news network as Anonymous or Lulsec. They are dangerous but easily defended against.
But there are more serious hackers that definitely don't want you knowing that they exist. These hackers work as close teams and groups for organized crime. They can obtain and siphon alot of information about people, and that information can be sold in the black market and used for Identity Theft. So for these guys, you REALLY don't want them to get information about you or your family. Even the tiniest bit of information like the family pet or your first car, can have dire consequences and lead to identity theft.
Identity theft is also an umbrella term which can mean anything from someone obtaining your credit card number, to someone opening credit lines in your name and racking up debt, all without you even knowing it. The internet has no police, and no way to track everything that can happen. Consider having access and using the Internet the same way as when people used to travel by horse drawn carriage through the wild west.... make good judgement calls, plan ahead, and watch your back.
As I progress through this blog, I will attempt to explain how to setup good defenses, and also how to develop good habits to minimize your family's exposure and risk from the Aggressors that exist in the internet.
