How threats spread

As modern computer technology and communications tools develop, hackers have
more opportunities for spreading threats. Let's take a closer look at them:

The Internet

The Internet is unique, since it is no one's property and has no geographical
borders. In many ways, this has promoted development of countless web resources
and the exchange of information. Today, anyone can access data on the Internet or
create their own webpage.

However, these very features of the worldwide web give hackers the ability to
commit crimes on the Internet, making them difficult to detect and punish as they
go.

USB flash drives

USB flash drives are widely used for storing and transmitting information.

When you use a USB disk that has malicious programs on it, you can damage data
stored on your computer and spread the virus to your computer's other drives or
other computers on the network.
