cc1.jpgAs sad as it may be, cyber criminals are an integral part of our online society as criminals are part of our real world. This is what a whitepaper on Information Week says and to some extent this is true for as long as there is opportunity, there are those that will seize them for their own benefit. Virtual crime is becoming a real headache for security experts worldwide and they’re not just dumping tons of spam on your mailbox, they’re taking information right from under your nose without you even knowing it. Phishing, Vishing and malware all share a common trait that any weakness is quickly discovered and turned into a money making venture. Cyber criminals are quite difficult to apprehend for unlike real criminals that leave behind DNA and other stuff for forensics to take on and analyze, these cyber-criminals operate with utmost anonymity.
