Internet Safety
Internet safety, this is a question I often ask, how safe is the Internet? Do we know enough about Internet Safety?
For some strange reason beyond my realms of understanding, my blog was hacked last week. I don’t understand what anyone is trying to achieve by hacking into a blog site.
I don’t think that any of my material is offensive, provocative or contains any political or religious views which would be deemed to be blasphemous. I worked hard to set up this blog, I started from scratch as I do not know enough about the wide world web that is out there, so I had to learn. Maybe I should have taken a course in Internet safety.
I do a lot of shopping on the Internet and honestly have not been too concerned about Internet safety, as all the transaction has been carried out through safe sites which I took on trust. I do feel that Internet safety has got better over time, however, I guess that someone somewhere will find a way to hack into a system and probably just for the sake of it.
My concern is why hack into a blog? What is on a blog that could of use to the hackers? Maybe I am still a little naive about Internet safety and have a lot more to learn. I am grateful that the damage was not too serious and am able to get back out there, thanks to my hosting company.
I shall now be more diligent about Internet safety.
