3) To show that they can and be cool ... but really not
   
     
  DAMAGES .... WHAT DAMAGE CAN A HACKER DO TO YOUR COMPUTER      
  This really depends on the kind of backdoor programs you have.  They can delete your files ,write new files or edit your new files. They can steal your files or install new programs without you noticing. Sneaky and evillllll right?      
 

Sooo.. the big question comes up

how can the hackers get into your account?? well... they can send you spam messages such as I 'Love you' or free gives to grab your attention and also to get you to open the website . When you open an unsure website hackers can break your firewall and also to get your personal information. SOOO one BIG tip for you is to NEVER EVER open an unsure website because to NEVER EVER know whether a hackers can be behind the web ready to hack into your system.

I'm going to be super nice and give you 8 more fabulous tips to see what precaution you can take to minimise the risk and also the damages of what a hacker can do to you.

Fab tip number 1: Backup your site often

                            2. Change your password regularly <--- really helps but remember your new password ;)

                           3. Monitor your site often

                           4. Keep your software up to date and  remember to click the 'update now' every now and then to make sure you have the best protection 

                          5. Be careful when you are using a local WiFi check if you are connect to the right WiFi

                          6. Last but not least ... lots of people save their very important information in a very obvious name eg. My Bank Account Password 'this makes it too easy for the hackers to find so use a name less obvious but a name that you can still remember !

                          

Still scared you should download software

You can download anti-virus software, spam blockers and also improve you password security eg fingerprinting password

 

Hope this tips helps
