Many friends have mentioned that Internet cafes are horse farms, and it is indeed the case. Because quite a lot of Internet cafes have inherent shortcomings, they are accustomed to using Ghost system backup and restore cards. This year, after the还原cards were heavily hit by machine dogs, fewer还原cards were installed.
Let's first list the security risks of Internet cafe computers:
1. Lack of qualified professional network administrators
Many Internet cafe owners do not understand networks. Internet cafes are essentially upgraded versions of game arcades, replacing old-generation consoles and arcade machines with PC games and online games, with very few qualified network management personnel.
2. Lack of centralized vulnerability scanning and patching solutions
With还原cards installed, why bother with patches? After a restart, the patches are useless, and when the computer boots up, it becomes another vulnerable "meat chicken" (vulnerable computer).
3. Lack of effective desktop management systems
Some Internet cafes have installed network management software, mostly for billing purposes, with little restriction on client permissions after login. For example, what software should be allowed to run on the client side, which software cannot be installed, whether external computers are allowed to connect to the Internet cafe, or whether the use of USB devices should be restricted, etc., all lack effective management.
4. Different purposes of Internet cafe customers
Some people go there specifically to browse illegal sites, and whether this will damage the Internet cafe's computer system is not a concern for them. There are even some who intentionally go to Internet cafes to spread viruses and harm others.
