The Hackers Nightmare...

Where do you turn when… Member Login You absolutely cannot afford to be Hacked, Cracked, Robbed, Impersonated, Phished, Scammed, Spied On, Virus Infected or Otherwise Compromised? "Thank you for offering the best help I have experienced in the 25 years I have used a computer." - Patrick Chong, Castle Hill, NSW, Australia   "I have learned more from your book than from any other computer book I've ever read." - Harold Tritz, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA All computer users, at home or in the office, are exposed to more security risks than they can possibly imagine. Criminals and unprincipled deadbeats constantly prey on unsuspecting victims. For Your Own Protection You Need To Know... HOW TO keep your sensitive files away from prying eyes; HOW TO protect your PC from malicious attacks; HOW TO keep your online banking, shopping and e-mail safe. And rejoice in the improved performance once all the crap is disposed of, and you've rid yourself of all those annoyances that plague you every day. Thugs, crims and swindlers aren't just lurking in dark alleys any more! Now they're online, and they've become a lot more sophisticated. They hire clever but unprincipled programmers to fashion their underhand schemes and "cyber-weapons" for them. There is a small, inexpensive, readily available and quite legal device that can be secretly attached to any computer in under 10 seconds, without opening the case. It will record every keystroke that is entered at that computer from then on? - Could a visitor set such a trap on your home PC? - How safe is that public terminal you sometimes use? - How at-risk is the PC at your reception desk or front counter? And that's just one way. There are many others which require no physical access to your computer at all! Your address book, customer database, price-list, banking details, credit card numbers, passwords — everything is open to theft, abuse and prying eyes? How confident are you that someone, somewhere doesn't already have access to your most sensitive documents? Anything the crims can steal from you they will sell to the highest bidder if they can't use it themselves. Couldn't happen to you? Get Real! These thugs don't go looking for specific individuals. You don't have to be famous, successful or some sort of "known target". They use automated software that constantly scans huge chunks of the Internet looking for ANY unprotected computer that happens to be on-line. "There is now a 50% chance of being infected by an Internet worm within just 12 minutes of being online using an unprotected, unpatched Windows PC." - Sophos Inc. - Threat Management Solutions "Average time-to-exploitation ... for an unprotected computer is measured in minutes." - United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) One indicator of the extent of the problem is the massive amount of spam pervading the Internet. While you may think spam is a different problem to security, they're closely related. Here's how… Most spam is distributed through hundreds of millions of PCs owned by unsuspecting people just like you. Their computers have been "enslaved" by a rogue program — completely unknown to the owner/operators of the computer. This method of spam dissemination conceals the true spam originator from the eyes of any authorities. The hundreds of millions of owners of those hundreds of millions of compromised PCs have no clue that they are accomplices in one of the great scourges of the modern era. It's no exaggeration to talk in terms of millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of computers. Nobody knows exactly how many Internet users there are worldwide, but certainly in excess of a billion (a thousand million) and probably closer to two billion. But being an unwitting spammer is not the worst of it for the owner/user of an infected PC. You see, bots can steal from a PC just as easily as they can use it for spamming. The modern cyber-crim doesn't break into a PC so he can wreak havoc with mindless destruction, such as deleting files, leaving disgusting messages, sending your browser to pornographic websites, inundating you with "adult" pop-ups, etc. Sure, all of that happens too, and vindictive "script-kiddies" are as active as ever, but today's real cyber-crim is much smarter than that. His goal is to make money. Data that is stolen without the owner's knowledge is much more valuable, because it can be monetized before you can take preventative measures, such as changing passwords or canceling credit cards. Another indicator of malicious intrusion is degraded performance. There can be a number of reasons why a computer appears to be running much slower than it used to, or is prone to lockups and crashes. Very high on the list of reasons is that it has been compromised in some way. We've seen PC owners almost speechless at how their computers have become "like new again" after a thorough housekeeping and clean-out of malware. OK, so the dangers are real and very, very prevalent. And if you are running an unprotected PC connected to the Internet, you probably already have at least some problems. So what's the answer? My name is Bill Hely and I assembled my first computer in a plywood case almost 30 years ago, long before there was any such thing as a "PC". That was a long time ago, but it was the beginning of a fascination with information technology that I turned into a long and successful career. After gaining a wide range of experience with various companies, I went freelance for almost 2 decades as an IT consultant specialising in the small business community. Today I limit my 1-on-1 consulting work to security and the Internet, and to a small, select group of long-term clients. But I have distilled those decades of experience into a very special resource ... one that I want to share with every computer user who understands the need for protection and vigilance. My main interest now is in creating, maintaining and supporting educational materials for the people who need help the most. They are the individuals and small business operators who don't have the luxury of on-tap computer support staff. In recent years I have translated my knowledge and experience into several very special eBooks. Some would classify them as "technical" books, but in fact they are quite the opposite. My goal is to make important technical topics understandable to the non-technical reader, so in that context I guess you could call them "non-technical books". I'm proud to say they have been praised by all types from beginners to experts and industry professionals. You'll find comments from some of them below. My best known publication by far is The Hacker's Nightmare. It has been repeatedly enhanced and updated since mid 2003, and is now unchallenged as the #1 plain-language guide to computer and Internet security. When I was researching and writing The Hacker's Nightmare I was determined that there would be many individual chapters that alone would be worth the cost of the whole book. Based on feedback from my readers I'm confident that I have achieved that aim. Read some of the testimonials for yourself. Real people just like you, solving very real problems and protecting themselves from the threats of the Internet. With your purchase of The Hacker's Nightmare™ you'll learn, in simple jargon-free terms, how to... Root out malware that has already taken up residence in your PC Securely block the pathways hackers can use to gain access to your data Protect against future attacks and infestations Recognize the tricks of the spammers, scammers and eavesdroppers Keep prying eyes away from your sensitive documents And that's just a fraction of the knowledge you'll gain from this landmark work. Invest in your privacy and security now! What you discover here could save your personal life or your business from embarrassment, crippling losses, possibly prosecution, even loss of your identity or your business. In recent years, as the Internet became an integral part of business operations, I have been called upon more and more often to rescue what could be saved from the wreckage of disastrous events — disastrous to precious data and equally precious time. My involvement with many different businesses, in numerous locations and over a long period of time, has led me to an inescapable conclusion: Small business management and staff — from The Boss on down — are woefully uneducated in even the basics of computer and Internet security. And that goes double for the average home computer user. Please don't take offense — I'm not laying blame on you personally. For years the media and self-proclaimed experts have been telling you how "hard" and how "complex" it all is. And now, thanks to years of misinformation, we've got millions of people out there operating under all manner of potentially disastrous delusions... such as believing that installing an anti-virus program is "protection". Take just 5 minutes... ... to read the rest of this page, while I explain some important facts of life about data security, the Internet, your home/office computers — maybe even the continued existence of your business or the integrity of your identity. Once you become aware of the true facts, I look forward to helping you guard against the hackers, worms and other 'germs' that threaten your time, your computers, your profitability, your data — even your very livelihood. Taking at least some preventative action in an unplanned, piecemeal fashion is better than taking no action at all. But you will soon discover such an approach is at best a case of two steps forward and one backwards. The attacks will never cease and, with an unplanned "plug 'n pray" approach, the holes will always be there. Contrary...
