About the World Wide Web
The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. It is a system of interconnected documents that can be accessed via the Internet. The Web has revolutionized communication, commerce, and entertainment.
The world wide web is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.
Commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) began to emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. Limited private connections to parts of the Internet by commercial entities emerged in several American cities by late 1989 and 1990, and the NSFNET was decommissioned in 1995, removing the last restrictions on use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic. In 1996, Congress passed Telecommunications Reform Act
Security issues facing web users
There are many common security issues that websites face. One of the most common is SQL injection, which is a type of attack that allows attackers to execute malicious code on a website’s database. This can allow them to access sensitive information, or even delete data. Another common issue is cross-site scripting (XSS), which is a type of attack that allows attackers to inject malicious code into a web page. This can allow them to redirect users to a different site, or even steal information from the user. Finally, phishing attacks are also common, which is where an attacker tries to trick a user into giving them their personal information by masquerading as a legitimate website or company.
How to be a safe web user
There are many steps that you can take to keep your website safe. First, you should make sure that all of your software is up to date, as outdated software can be easy for attackers to exploit. You should also use a web application firewall (WAF) to help protect your site from common attacks. Additionally, you should use strong passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) to help prevent unauthorized access to your site. Finally, you should regularly back up your website so that you can restore it if it is ever compromised.
The world wide web is as safe as ever, thanks to the efforts of security researchers and developers. They have found and fixed many vulnerabilities in web browsers and other software that could be exploited by attackers. Additionally, they have developed many tools and best practices that website owners can use to help keep their sites safe. Finally, they have also worked to raise awareness of common attacks and how to prevent them.
