Why is it important?

Considering the specificity of financial trading business, the complex protection of personal information against all types of digital threats (viruses, spyware, malware, hacking attempts, stealing of private data etc.) is imperative for the majority of traders. If there is no modern security software with latest updates installed on your PC, even just visiting an infected web page on the internet can lead to unpredictable consequences. Moreover, a presence of any threats may not be suspected by a user at all. Here is a list of common IT threats every trader should know about:

• Hijacking of e-money accounts for the purpose of withdrawing all funds available on them. Stealing the access data for trading accounts and credit cards.
• Unauthorized access to your e-mail where logins and passwords from various trading systems can be stored.
• Infections of your computer with trojan viruses and spyware which logs all occurring processes and intercepts all the data entered from the keyboard in order to send it directly to a malefactor.
• Infections of your computer with bot-viruses, whose main objective is generating of a huge amount internet traffic for a spam sending, brute-force breaking of passwords on remote systems or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on web sites. In this case the speed of your Internet connection falls considerably which negatively influences the trading process, decelerates quoting and delivery of orders to a trading server.
• Viruses can block network ports and limit access to some online services which are used, for example, for communication between a trading terminal and a server.
• Viruses can damage all executable files on your hard disk, including files of your trading terminal, or completely destroy all the information without a chance to restore it later.
