Oh my god?! why has my computer data been erased... Dad?! I have a problem!
Data Wiped
Well, you see... my computer suddenly just had its data wiped without me doing anything. I was playing game and it just so sudden...
Hmm... sounds like you got yourself a case of a worm.
A WORM?!!! WHAT'S A WORM DOING IN MY COMPUTER?!!!!
No, silly! I'm talking about network traveling worms, which are less slimy and more dangerous than actual worms.
Network traveling worms are computer programs that gain access to multitudes of technology. They usually carry things that can harm computers networks once accessed.
(Imagine this is happening 1,000 times simultaneously)
The worms can gain access multiple ways, but the most common is having a list of commonly used passwords and implementing those.
How do I stop this again? My precious save files are gone... I don't want this happening again.
The best way to defend against the worms are creating random and sophisticated passwords, so that the worms can't get in as easily. One way to do this is find a trusted website that can generate random passwords for you to use, and change them at given times for even more security.a good password would be: ]L%})PvmS#6}EZa.What's your password right now?
