Is it Possible to prevent Cyber-Crimes?

Is it Possible to prevent Cyber-Crimes?

The simple answer is NO.

But can you do something to minimize it?

YES one can do a lot.

1. Use Linux at home.

2. Use Windows at office only.

Let the office guys who were not prudent enough to use Linux as a base pay the price.

3. Do not use Flash Drives.

There are many good uses of Flash Drives for example Knoppix on a Stick.

4. Do not share Flash Drives.

5. Have at least three emails from different sources.

One I call the junk email.

The second I call the friendly email with minimal sharing.

The third I call the security email, no sharing.

6. Have a good password, longer the better.

7. Have a method to remember the password. 

I forget them often.

8. Use cloud as a storage media.

They are good at thier own security.

9. Use your mobile with care, only a cloud client.

10. The most reliable method is not to use the computer to communicate.

It is far better to give a call and visit the person in need, in person.

Few good friends are better than millions at the facebook.

I do not use facebook or any social media.

The blog post is my only entry point of distinction.

I do not care how many visit it but take a good note of what other people are interested in.
