China - Huge Exporter Of Password Stealing Spyware
November 24, 2006
Cyber criminals are getting more savvy and it is important for pc users to stay up to speed with recommended anti spyware programs to safe guard their computers. The target today is your personal information in the form of passwords and usernames to sensitive banking sites as well as popular “payment gateways” such as PayPal. These cyber criminals designed programs to steal your passwords often times using “keylogger” programs that record keystrokes as pc users log into banking sites.
Another big target for malicious coders in China is online gaming data in the form of usernames and passwords, once the criminals have received login and passwords to online games they could easily impersonate the victim in the online gaming world. They also will target online gaming “sites” and could easily run up large bills without the victims realizing until it is too late.
The best defense against spyware today is find a recommended anti spyware package that offers “real time spyware protection” which does not allow these apps to install on a user pc.
