Computer Insecurity

This article talks about how most computers only have limited security measures in place to combat with the problems of computer hacking. Firgures in the billions have been reported to have been lost. The causes of these are malware such as computer worms like the Code Red worm, but such estimates may be exaggerated. The major loses such as the ones that could compromise credit card information can be more easily determined and our more easy to track than the others. Us as the users of the internet have to be very cautious of what information that we let out and of what security devices that we have in place.
