An email bombing is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of messages to it. Sometimes these messages are incomprehensible. But more often, they will be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions. Thus, in the latter case, the attacker uses a script to search for forums and newsletters on the internet. Then they sign up for an account with your email address. Each will send you a confirmation email, asking you to confirm your address. Also, this process is repeated on as many unprotected sites as the script can find. The term Email Bombing or Email Bombing; it can also refer to flooding an email server with too many emails. In an attempt to overwhelm the server and disable it. But that's not the goal here; it would be a challenge to cut down on the modern email accounts used. Meanwhile, Google or Microsoft email servers, anyway. So instead of a denial of service (DOS) attack; against the email servers you are using. Also, the flood of messages

CYBER SECURITY

-

Computer security, cyber security or information technology security is the area that has to do with the protection of the computer and / or telematics infrastructure and all the information contained in it. This area includes: any type of software such as databases or files, hardware, computer networks and anything that carries confidential information on a computer medium.

CYBERSECURITY

Threats

To achieve a secure and reliable information system, a series of standards, protocols, methods, rules and techniques are established. However, there are threats to be aware of:

Users

It is considered the cause of the greatest problem related to the security of a computer system. This is because their actions could cause serious consequences.

Malicious programs

Known as malware, they are intended to harm a computer when it installs or makes illicit use of data. They are usually a computer virus, Trojan horse, or spyware.

Programming errors

More than a danger, it is a bad development. But it also has to be seen as a risk preventing operating systems and applications from being out of date.

Intruders

When people who are not authorized access programs or data that they should not, as is the case with hackers.

Sinister

Computer equipment can also be lost or damaged due to mishandling or malicious intent. This is where situations such as theft, fire or flood would enter.

Electronic failures

A computer system in general can be affected by power supply problems or logic errors like any other device that is not perfect.

Natural disasters

Lightning, earthquakes, floods

According to the effect produced by any of the above threats, a distinction is made between:

Information theft.

Destruction of information.

Cancellation of the operation of the systems.

Identity theft, publicity of personal or confidential data, change of information

Theft of money or scams.

Backups

A company must permanently protect its information since it is the most important asset that can be damaged by a large number of factors: theft, fire, and virus. To protect data efficiently, backups or backups are essential. Depending on the volume of content generated and the amount of equipment, the best protection plan will be outlined.

PROTECTION

So to keep your device safe from everything you should have a good antivirus installed in your device. Antivirus that will be helpful in fighting all these antivirus and keeping your computer up to date and your data safe which you stored in your device.

IMPORTANCE

An antivirus helps prevent any virus from damaging the computer's operating system, other functions, or any network to which the computer is connected.

·       Maintain computer security.

A constantly updated and robust antivirus package or program creates a fireproof wall to increase total security and keeps all operations running smoothly and ensures Internet accessibility and browsing.

·       Protection against spam

Antivirus software is also effective in scanning emails, attachments, and junk mail that can interfere with malicious viruses and other online threats.

·       Information and file protection

Relevant information, files, documents, photos, presentations and other materials stored on a computer are protected from attacks or virus infections.

·       Financial savings

A computer with superficial or insufficient protection is susceptible to many virus attacks. An efficient antivirus program does not require professional technical support or costly measures to recover information and secure your computer again.

Have you ever wondered how antivirus is tested before it is available on the market? The truth is that, despite what you may think at first, these applications pass a series of tests that have the mission, obviously, of verifying their effectiveness. Well, for most IT security vendors these assessments are now out of date. Testing an antivirus before its launch is something that is done regularly. Thus, the AV Tests (name by which the aforementioned tests are known) allow users to choose which antivirus they want to install on their computers, knowing what their main characteristics are and what they protect against. So far everything normal. So what is the problem? Some manufacturers of security solutions have raised their voices against the fact that these tests are “not modernized”. In what sense? Some companies claim that, although the complexity of security applications has grown considerably in recent times, when conducting evaluations they do not test the new technologies w
