Watch out for cyber-criminals
10/2/2008
This article talks about the National Cyber-Safety Alliance saying that hackers are creating "Bots" that are installed onto a person's computer. The bot records personal information and sends it to a hosted computer, where it is recorded for the hackers to use and sell their information. The bots are also becomming a bigger and new threat to the personal computer and personal information.
I think that with hackers creating more problems, such as bots, there will always be security there to protect our personal information. Another thing is that we need to be more aware if there is malicious software installed onto our computer. Some of these ways of figureing out if there is malicious software on our computer is if it is running slower than usual.
