When it comes to the process of connecting two or more computers together, there are some risks that are associated with it which you have to be aware of. I want to talk about ten different types of such risks in this article. Follow me as we are going to do that together in this article.

#1 Malware

Email, Instant Messaging and file programs have traditionally been used to spread viruses, worms, backdoors. rootkits, Trojans and spyware from computer to computer.

#2 Sniffing

Unsecured network connections such as Wifi access points are used by hackers to set up packet sniffers to monitor all traffic that comes and goes to a network.

#3 Denial of service

Denial of service causes the computer to crash or to become so busy processing data that you are not able to use such a device for a legitimate purpose. 

#4 Mobile Code

Intruders use multiple codes to gather information such as the website visited or to run malicious code on your computer as well. 

#5 Email Spoofing

An email message appears to have originated from one source when it actually was sent from another source to trick the user to expose sensitive information. 

#6 Chat Clients 

Chat clients allow the exchange of executable code that may be malicious to be sent through chats. 

#7 Being Intermediary for other attacks

Intruders use compromised computers as launching pads for attacking other devices on a network. This may happen due to negligence and non-compliance on the part of users. 

#8 Backdoor and Remote Administration Program

A malicious web developer may attach a script to something sent to a website, such as a URL that is transferred to your browser when the website responds to you. 

#9 Cross-Site Scripting 

A malicious web designer may attach a script to something sent to a website, such as a URL that is transferred to your browser when the website responds to you. 

#10 Unprotected Windows Share 

Unprotected Windows networking share can be exploited by intruders to place distributed attack tools of Windows-based computers attached to the internet.
