Did you know that over the last 11 years, 1 in 8 Americans has been affected by fraud?
In fact fraud is becoming more common everyday. If you believed that you weren’t at risk, then you should probably think again. In today’s fast paced world, no one is really safe. If you use the Internet, then you are definitely in more danger than you may realize.
Online identity fraud is one of the biggest problems on the Internet today, and even if you only use the Internet to “check your email”, you can still be targeted by phishing etc.
Why is Online Identity Fraud so Dangerous?
The hackers perpetuating today’s online fraud scams aren’t just bored teenagers anymore. Today’s hackers are a growing group of highly skilled con artists, who know how to access & manipulate computers to get what they want.
Today’s hackers have a wide array of tools when it comes to stealing your money or personal information, but two of their most effective, and easily implemented methods are using viruses and spyware to gain access to you PC.
Many Viruses and Spyware can be installed on your computer through the use of ActiveX. ActiveX is a technology that was developed to make the Internet easy to use. Websites like your bank or favorite online merchant probably use ActiveX for just this purpose. Unfortunately ActiveX can also be manipulated for other purposes. Hackers and identity thieves can use ActiveX to remotely install viruses and spyware on your computer. By simply visiting a suspicious website, your computer could get infected and you might never know it.
And once these malicious downloads are installed on your machine, you could be BIG trouble. You may not know it, but you computer keeps logs full of information about you. Somewhere on your hard drive there are files that contain information like your name, address, phone number, the websites you visit, the types of things you buy online, maybe even your credit card numbers.
Viruses and spyware are designed to find this information and send it back to the person who installed them. Before you know it, you could loose lots of money or even your identity.
If you value your money, your credit and your good name, then you can’t afford to go another day without some solid fraud protection software on your PC.
