The Truth Exposed: Why Hackers Destroy and Cause Havoc and What You Need to Protect Your Computer

Everyone does what they do for a reason. Most of the people who harm others or businesses do so for selfish reasons. Here you will learn why hackers destroy and cause havoc.

(PRWEB) August 19, 2005 -- As hackers released a series of related worms that infected networks of connected computers at CNN, The New York Times and the ABC news station, one has to wonder what the motivation is. Why seek to destroy? Why dont these hackers use their so called intelligence in constructive ways? The answer might surprise you.

Respected author and software creator Sherif Osman, in addition to having knowledge of starting businesses on the Internet and online marketing, also has insights into human motivation and behavior.

He says, Ive studied human behavior and motivation for many years now and I can tell you exactly why these hackers are seeking to hack and destroy... they simply want to show everyone how smart they are."

Sherif goes on to say, Thats why they attack the big players like Microsoft and big businesses. If they can outsmart and find vulnerabilities there, it must mean that they are smarter than and equal to or superior to these giants. But what these hackers dont realize is that they are really showing everyone how stupid they are. They do so by risking their freedom, their reputations and their future lifestyle and earning ability by what they do that brings them nothing. If they really were smart, they would create value for others, not destroy what others value."

Sherif says that computer users and big businesses can protect their computers through the following ways:

1) Install a good firewall on your computer. The one I recommend most can be found at: http://www.zonelabs.com/

2) Install and use a good antivirus software on your computer. And be sure to always download the virus definition updates. The two I can recommend can be found at: http://www.symantecstore.com/ and at http://us.mcafee.com/

3) Consider connecting your computer to a router to make your computer invisible and inaccessible to hackers. The one I recommend most can be found at: http://www.belkin.com/index.asp

4) All laptops that connect to other computers that are a part of a network must at a minimum have a good firewall and antivirus software and the virus definitions updated promptly.
