Security

Just how bad is Spyware in the Corporate World?

Imagine your go into work today and find the IT people at your desk looking over your PC.. They look at you with pity and ask you to see your boss immediately. You walk into your bosses office and security is their. In short you have been fired. When you ask why it is explained to you that the software you downloaded and installed or the P2P application you have had running was responsible for introducing a spyware program which caused all PC’s in the company to be infected, which in turn caused Trojan programs to be installed and some hacker is now selling the companies 20,000 customers credit cards and banking data on the Internet. Don’t think this can happen to you, well you better think again. [ZDNet]
