Malls are full of dirty door knobs and coughing strangers, but the
Internet has its own dangers—clever programmers intent on separating
visitors from their money.
Websites infected with malware may damage computer performance. Malware
can also steal confidential information such as bank account numbers and
passwords and reporting them back to their devious creators.
Other online threats include spurious emails designed to trick the unwary
out of their money.
The video, “Dangers on the Web” points out that online threats have cost
US consumers $8,500,000,000 in the last two years—enough to make annual
mortgage payments for nearly 500,000 families.
As online shoppers prepare for a holiday season with an extra Cyber
Monday, Comodo warns them to prepare for this new kind of infection.
