If not, it\u2019s definitely something to start thinking about. A vulnerable network could mean that predators can obtain your personal information, credit card information, and more.\u00a0If you think you may have a virus on your device due to a vulnerable\u00a0 network, be sure to run a <em>full virus scan<\/em> immediately by <strong>downloading dfndr security<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.appsflyer.com\/com.psafe.msuite?pid=MKT_BLOG_US&amp;c=4_different_ways_hackers_can_penetrate_network\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"352\" height=\"57\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Prancheta-1.png\" alt=\"Get dfndr security now\" class=\"wp-image-19520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Prancheta-1.png 352w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Prancheta-1-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The full virus scan will allow you to scan your devices for malware and security breaches that could leave your device vulnerable to exposing your personal information. Furthermore, the scan will fix any issues that it uncovers.&nbsp;Here are the essential ways hackers can breach your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Weak IP Addresses<br><\/strong>The first way that predators hack into your network is by finding weak IP addresses. In this case, hackers\u2019 computers do all the work for them. They start numerically from 0.0.0.1 and continue upwards until a weak address is found and they are able to make a connection. There are approximately 4.2 billion combinations worldwide for these addresses; but, as noted, their computers do the work for them, so that large number does not have much of an effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phishing Scams<br><\/strong>Phishing scams are one of the oldest tricks in the book, and also one of the most successful. These scams typically come in the form of a mass email that appears to be from a legitimate author or entity, such as your bank or a subscription site. These emails ask readers to click an embedded link to verify their account and enter their login information. This gives hackers access to your personal information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Free or Cheap Software<br><\/strong>You may think you\u2019re getting a bargain, but downloading cheap or free software may be putting your network at risk. These downloads could offer hackers an \u201cin\u201d to your network, supplying them with sensitive information or allowing them to introduce malware or viruses to your devices. Instead, you are better off paying for software that you can verify is secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Password Hacking<br><\/strong>This is a method that requires some trial and error, but hackers still have success breaking into networks this way. Commonly, people use the passwords that came with their router\/modem, making it easy for hackers to guess the password. Always set your own passwords using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Change passwords once or twice a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hackers can be crafty and sneaky.
