TCP/IP Hijacking
TCP/IP hijacking is a technique used by cyber criminals to take control of your internet connection. It works by intercepting the data packets that pass between your computer and a website or internet service.
The attacker first identifies your IP address and tracks the data packets being exchanged between your device and the internet. They then use a software tool to intercept these packets, manipulate the data and send them to their destination instead of the intended destination.
This technique can be used to steal sensitive information, such as login details or financial information, or to inject and execute malicious code on your computer. It is a serious threat to internet security and can be difficult to detect.
To protect yourself from TCP/IP hijacking, it is important to regularly update your operating system and software programs, use a reputable antivirus software, and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive tasks. Additionally, you can use a virtual network or VPN to encrypt your online activity and prevent interception of your data packets.
