How to Make Sure Your Kids are Safe on the Internet with TheOneSpy

Monitoring children’s activities becomes increasingly difficult for parents with each addition in their technological equipment. In today’s Internet Age, children become exposed to all kinds of people from a very young age – before they are even able to tell the right people from the wrong ones. If your children, like most technologically smart children, are hooked to their gadgets, it is time for you to start monitoring their devices because, like most technologically smart children, there are chances that your children, too, are exposed to harmful people and content while using the Internet. Since all kind of interaction over the Internet is hidden from parents, there was practically no way they could have monitored their children’s cyber activities. Until now.

Beware! Hackers Can Hack Computers Using USB Devices

In a recent research, it has been revealed that our computers can now be hacked even through the USB
devices we use such as keyboards, mice, flash drives etc. These
peripherals can be used to hack into our computers breaking through all
safety precautions.


The chief scientist at Berlin‘s SR Labs, Karsten Nohl,
said that malevolent software could be loaded onto small and cheap
computer chips by hackers to fiddle around with the functions of USB
devices that do not have integrated protection against meddling with
their code.

“Karsten Nohl” belongs to a firm which is famous for
disinterring serious defects in mobile phone technology. Nohl said that
it is difficult to tell where the virus came from and it seems a lot
like a magic trick.

Hack Computers Using USB Devices

Researchers
found out that the software bugs that help operate small electronic
parts are undetected by an ordinary user and can be of serious harm once
hackers find out a way to misuse them. Now more attention is being
given to finding ways to overcome these flaws.

Nohl’s
firm has used malicious software that erases data, records keystrokes
and keeps a track of the conversations. The firm did this by writing a
malicious code onto chips that control the settings of smartphones and
flashdrives.

Nohl said that, as anti-virus programs only scan the
software that is present in the memory and not the firmware, so
computers are unable to detect infected devices.

At the next
week’s Black Hat hacking conference, Nohl and Jakob Lell who is a
security researcher at SR Labs will tell about how they will go on with
their attack method.



At
the yearly conference, thousands of officials from security firms get
together to learn more about new ways of hacking, also the ones that
risk the security of computers used for commercial purposes. Nohl
commented that, it wouldn’t come out as a surprise for him if the
National Security Agency or any other security agency used this
technique for hacking.
