Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems do not operate on secure lines,
thus providing an opening for hackers to enter a network or computer,
access personal and confidential information, as well as place viruses
or worms.
Users of P2P systems are prime targets and/or launching
points for malicious hacker attacks simply because it requires downloading
and sharing electronic files or programs.
Users of these programs are inadvertently making their personal
information available to other users. Personal information
includes tax returns containing you name, address, and social security
numbers of not only you, but your spouse and dependents, financial
information such as income and investments, medical records, business
files such as contracts and personnel evaluations, and attorney-client
communications, to name a few.
Spyware and adware programs are frequently bundled into P2P
file-sharing software. These programs collect personal information
for marketers and provide access to your computer by malicious hackers.
Some programs can redirect a user's homepage to a different
website, install browser toolbars, insert entries into the
user's browser bookmark list, reinstall itself after uninstallation,
and ultimately crash a user's system.
When you are running the software for P2P services,
your computer's disk space, bandwidth, and processing power are used
to help other users on the same system operate their software more
efficiently because of their own network or firewall constraints.
Many user's think that it is safe and free to download
Pornographic Material or Pirated Movies/Games/Programs/Music from
these programs, but the cost is when thier system can begin performing
inefficiently due to these Virus and Spyware inclusive Peer-to-Peer
programs. |
