Remember my last post on cybercrime related stuff (ok, more or less a music post, but still)?
One problem with cybercrime I stumbled upon while thinking about it was that the more users entering the internet with different computers the more targets for cybercriminals are present because of the different security levels depending on the security measures taken by the individuals. In other words, what I mean is, that while more different computers are using the internet it becomes harder to guarantee a specific security standard for example by measures provided by the user’s OS.
Now, while surfing the Inet (with very low security measures, of course), I stumbled upon this article that introduced me a solution, that makes sense to me: Cloud computing.
If everyone uses a program maintained on the highest level possible in one central place, it would be harder for cybercriminals to attack (regarding offences like hacking etc…I reckon phishing, spaming, pharming would be still possible).
The big BUT(T) is: What happens, if the central maintained program is hacked? In this case, everyone using this specific prog is affected – bad.
Well, I don’t have the answer yet, but I sure know, that guy who wrote the article mentioned above is way more intelligent than me (I guess). But what I know: Who wants to lose his data? Not me!
P.s.: Funny how all the problems derive from and may be solved by the Internet.
