if the computer or Internet data is hacked your atomic weapon can be driven by hacker
so Internet and computer data security is more important for a country as compare to atomic weapon security of a country.
we daily hear about hacking cases, many computer specialist and researchers are busy to find solution to avoid from hacking.but they failed to find any solution to avoid hacking recently they find that USB flash memory is also helping hand for hackers to hack Internet and computer data,so using USB can leads your computer data security at risk.
The USB is using in computers as well as in many other electronic devices like laptop,mobile phone, DVD players and TV, theretofore millions of devices that use USB port having data security problem.
The computers that have stored country personal information are now avoiding from connecting any kind of USB,because it can lead to control your computer by hackers.
In daily life you connect many devices to computer via USB port.you connect mouse and keyboard via USB port but you will wonder how your computer detect different devices by USB port, it is done by computer because your USB devices has a pre install software that contain instruction about that device and also help computer in detecting that device.
in same way the USB devices that you use you connect to many devices for data transfer is also contain a software install on chip that contain instruction .
This USB fault that leads to hack of your computer data is find by "SR LABS" the security company the name this fault "bad USB" according to them,
The hackers change that pre install software with their own instruction program that steal data from the devices to which this USB is connected.
it is not possible to recognize such USB because the change is made internally.
The researchers are yet failed to solved this problem according to them the only way to avoid from this problem is you should avoid from using any untrusted USB.
The "SR LABS" tell that further details about this bad USB fault will be explain in their "Black Hat conference 2014" that was held on 7 august 2014.
They said that there is no solution yet to avoid from USB hacking.
The only way to avoid from this problem is that USB making companies should make such USB devices. that are not accepted by computer if their chip installed software is changed.
The other way for you at this time is only connect trusted USB to your computer otherwise your computer data security is at risk.
Some precautions to avoid from stealing your computer data:
- Always keep your office or company usb separate from your home usb,because if both are interchanged than it can cause of transferring of virus from your home usb to your company computers.
- Always buy good quality usb.
- When you delete data from your usb it is not erased from usb it only become hide for you it can be recovered.so keep you loss your usb mean you had given your all data to that person.
