BASIC COMPUTER SECURITY MISTAKES TO AVOID

Most hackers succeed, not because they have unknown methods for accessing other computers, but because most end users of computers and organizations make common and basic mistakes. Here are the most common mistakes that everyone should avoid:

Updates
Microsoft and Apple product updates are free. All you need is internet access and a little time to download and install the updates. Most users ignore the update pop-up and continue to use the computer. Always update all your devices, applications, applications, operating systems, and computers.

Previous Versions
Another problem similar to the previous one is the maintenance of previous versions of the software. Most developers only keep the latest version of the particular application. Most users keep previous versions to avoid buying a newer version. Just remember that the previous application could be a vector of intrusion into your systems.

Downloads
Another threat is downloading random applications online. There are so many download sites that you have to make sure that all the programs you download come from a known developer. Similarly, when you download known applications, always do so from the official site. Third-party download sites often add Malware and Adware to downloads before they become available.

Piracy
In a recent study, security researchers discovered that nearly 90% of pirated software came with malware. The offensive malware was written in the applications, making it impossible to delete. Saving a few dollars by downloading pirated applications could open your computer to Malware and even Ransomware.
