Cyber attacks are on the increase against home computer users largely because they have lower levels of security protection. That's according to Symantec Corporation that sells computer anti-virus software. Symantec's latest Internet Security Threat Report finds home users account for 86% of all targeted attacks followed by businesses that sell financial services. In addition, attackers are using a variety of techniques to escape detection and prolong their presence on your system. Symantec says there's one reason scammers are going after home computers.
"And that's partially 1 because of the data that contain credit card information , social security numbers, and partially because of the machines that control the high speed links which in turn can be used for spamming, phishing and fraud. "
Symantec says attackers are using a variety of means to steal information and they get more sophisticated every day.
"So we've already seen the attackers go from e-mail only to Web browsers 2. And now we are starting to see them using other techniques, such as instant messaging and phone calls. "
The company urges computer users to develop Internet streetsmarts and be skeptical 3 of anyone online who asks them to divulge 4 confidential 5 information.
