Urban myths about online safety


There is almost no one nowadays who does not use Internet based on user accounts and passwords. The Internet contained much of our personal lives, confidential data and information.

Online security is important
Like all myths and this contains a grain of truth. However it is possible to recognize that you give your consent and hackers often rely on the fact that computers are configured to allow certain kinds of downloadable online shares. And this has led to the phenomenon "by taking". 
These acquisitions may occur in several ways as hackers constantly develop new methods that not even professional computer support services are able to follow. Perhaps the most insidious techniques rely on what is known as in line frames or "iframes". 
The intent of iframes is to allow websites that have a mix of variable and static content to be constructed so that they will use computer resources efficiently. For the first time this technique was introduced in 1997, iframes essentially allow you to embed "active" material taken from elsewhere. Abusing iframes can secretly take other websites - what you see, because they can be smaller than one pixel - will take you to a page that contains potentially “bad content”.
