access your network without you suspecting anything. Not to worry, we are sharing some signs to look out for. If you notice any of these signs, you should alert
your IT department. Hacking can damage a lot of things including your
reputation. Ask Hillary Clinton how the exposure of her emails by
hackers affected her electioneering campaign.
Unexpected slowdown

the speed of your internet is faster than Usain Bolt but suddenly it becomes
very slow. It may be that someone is tampering with your router remotely. This
is possible when hackers install a software that can slow down your networks.

for you to log in and nothing seems to be working like your password and
username even if it is correct. This may be a clue that something is wrong. If
this is the case, you should immediately change your password.
Unusual activity

something can drive you insane due to because when you want to perform an
important task that is when it starts acting up. If these unusual activities
continue nonstop, there must be something wrong. It may be a

your antivirus appears disabled, it is a good signal that something is amiss.
This is because you didn’t deactivate it. You may probably have visited a
website created by a hacker which can automatically disable the
antivirus of any system. Your system will tell you if it is off. Pay attention
to this and switch on or update your antivirus.

that hacking is now very sophisticated. So hackers are now creative. If an app
you didn’t download appears on your system appears, don’t click it. The best
you can do is to delete. If you do open it, you given hackers unlimited access
to your system. Be careful
