Question of the Day
• What kind of information about my computer can be collected by ISP and web sites I visit?
- IP address (Internet Protocol address) is your internet identification number. Everyone has an IP address to communicate on the Internet. Your computer's IP address is comparable to your home address or your Social Security number. If someone can match your IP address to your ISP's customer list, they can use the information to identify country, city, internet provider and even physical address. When you surf the web, your IP address is left in logs all around the Internet: in the logs at your ISP, at the routers of your requests and finally the destination of your request. Hackers and identity thieves can use this information to infiltrate your system and steal personal information, use it in a denial of service (DoS) attack,spy upon you or cause damage to your PC. It is possible to restrict accessing any information or provide customized content to specific IP.
- Information about your system. As web servers communicate with your computer, they can gather certain types of information about your system. For example, a web site can immediately determine what browser you use, certain system settings, and whether some types of software are installed. This includes browser plug-ins, media handlers, application programs, and your operating system. While most sites use information about OS and browser to provide a better surfing experience this information can also be used by hackers for virus attacks that use weaknesses in your system to get access to the content of your hard drive or RAM, steal personal information or cause damage to your computer.
- Referral information. When you click a hyperlink to jump to a new web site, your browser reveals the address of the referring site - that is, the site you jumped from. As you "hop" from one server to another, your activities can be tracked. Information about last visited web pages can be used to track your web usage and profile your browsing habits. Spammers can use this information to send you spam and junk e-mails.
- Cookies. As you surf the web, most web sites send cookies to your computer to track your Internet usage. Some cookies are "good" cookies, used for legitimate purposes, such as storing preferences, account information and remembering the choices you have made on the site. Some cookies are "bad" cookies. Bad cookies are used to track your browsing habits, purchase history, etc.
- Your e-mail address. Any web site can easily retrieve your e-mail address. In fact, if you find and examine the cookies on your system, you'll see that their file names commonly include your e-mail address, or at least your user name. This is one way marketers collect addresses for e-mail campaigns.
