Spyware Distributor Arrested
To me one of the biggest scares about spyware are the type that function as system monitor. Japanese authorities today arrested a man by the name of “Atsushi Takewaka” on suspicion of stealing bank account information from unsuspecting people. Atsushi admitted that he had created a spyware program and distributed it on CD’s to companies with the hopes of stealing account information.
Once again, this shows the importance of making sure your computer is protected. We alway recommend that you have an anti spyware program installed, anti-virus program, desktop firewall (preferrably not the one that came with Windows XP) and have the latest security patches installed on your computer.
Their is a market for your personnal information. In a blink of an eye, you could easily become the victim of Identity Theft if you are not careful.
