Hackers get in using children!
Free online games can make your child victim to cyber-attacks.
You heard it right, hackers it seems love CHILDREN that are usually not tech-savvy (not like the daughter of my friend Stefan from Redwoods Advance, who knows a lot more than an adult like me, Huh!).
And, if your 'not so tech-savvy' child is fond of FREE online games then you may have to keep your computer up-to-date to combat malware and viruses.
The word is that - www.cutearcade.com and many “especially for kids” gaming sites have been targeted by the hackers, validates AVAST Software; yes, it was a Trojan horse (malware) that took a firm grip over the gaming sites of children.
In an era, when fully TECH-LOADED corporate organizations are not safe, we can plainly think of the case with children that do not know or think much when they are busy playing their favorite games, online.
Hackers know, children are the best (soft) targets for EVERYTHING, and they have proved it again by trespassing in some of the children's gaming websites.
The anti-virus program developer (AVAST) said, hackers took more on sites that had following in the title: 'arcade', and/or 'game'; just imagine - more than 60 gaming-websites are being victimized by, so far. Well, the numbers may be flying up further, who knows?
While playing online-games, children may not know or recognize what they click on - whether a malevolent program or software; they would go on clicking this and that, without realizing that the "Uncle-hacker" at the other end has already taken FULL control over their Dad's personal computer.

So, ensure your kids do not go gaga over all FREE things online, to end up paying only for computer maintenance every time.
