“You can have the best software protection, and you’re still going to be hacked easily,” said Paradox Computer Services Owner Gary Webb.
Webb has been in the computer business for decades, and he says, the threat of hackers is the worst he’s seen yet.
“It’s going to get uglier,” he said. “It’s just, we have to keep up.”
One of his main tips, not default saving your passwords in browsers like Google. If hackers are able to get into your browser, they’ll have access to everything saved there.
Another tip he offers is one you may not have thought about.
“I tell most clients turn off the guest Wi-Fi network,” he said. “There are ways to hack. I can be in front of your house, and there’s programs I can run off my laptop that I can find out every password.”
He says hackers also prey on people using public Wi-Fi networks.
Webb urges people to never access any public information or financial documents while connected to public Wi-Fi, because that makes you an easy target.
“There’s a little device people walk around with,” he said. “It’s like all of a sudden you find out you look at your credit card, and somebody just spent $4,000 for a bicycle in Texas.”
