10 Most Dangerous Things Users Do Online

The Staff of Dark Reading

The following is our list of "The Ten Most Dangerous Things Users Do Online," along with some explanation of some the risks — and solutions — associated with each. This list was generated directly from input they received from IT people.

Stick this up on your class bulletin board. If it keeps one user from making a big mistake, then we’ll have done our job.

1. Clicking on email attachments from unknown senders

2. Installing unauthorized applications

3. Turning off or disabling automated security tools

4. Opening HTML or plain-text messages from unknown senders

5. Surfing gambling, porn, or other legally-risky sites

6. Giving out passwords

Despite years of IT warnings to the contrary, about one in three people still write down their computer passwords somewhere near the machine, either on a piece of paper or in a text file on a PC.

7. Random surfing of unknown, untrusted Websites

8. Attaching to an unknown, untrustworthy WiFi network
There's nothing more soothing than a good cup of java and a free WiFi connection at your local coffee shop. But watch that guy at the booth next door — he may be hacking into your laptop over that very same WiFi link.
The only way to ensure that you won't get hacked via WiFi is to disable the wireless card altogether while they work from public places.

9. Filling out Web scripts, forms, or registration pages
" Users are more likely to get hacked if they use the same username and password for most every site they visit — a habit that puts their personal data in jeopardy.

10. Participating in chat rooms or social networking sites
"You should assume that anything you post to a social networking site is public."
