Social Responsibility

I want to talk to you about our social responsibility to our family, friends, and the world around us. As adults and members of this planet, earth social responsibility is nothing new. We drive a car, at work, or sitting behind a computer terminal, we have certain responsibilities. When drive a car down the city street, we are obligated to drive in a way that does not damage people or property. At the workplace, we have the obligation to work safe and respect to our co-workers. While sitting behind the computer, we have the obligation not to aid the spread the malicious software.

The lack of good safe computer habits has aided the spread of computer viruses, Trojans, and spyware. A Zombie is a non-resistant tool hacker's use to your computer as a relay to them schemes. That is why I wrote Safe Computer Habits.Safe driving habits, workplace habits, and habits behind sitting a computer at home or at work can affect so many people around you and around the world.

A little habit like not opening email attachments will greatly reduce the spread of computer viruses. A little habit of checking that you have a secure connection before entering a credit card number on a trusted website. A little habit like a good strong password can deter attacks aimed at getting your personal information. These three little habits can make a big difference.
