If John were available to read this, he’d probably be in shock about now. This number, 1025, is not a large number, but it isn’t small either. This article was posted on July 8th from Krebs. Please feel free to check out the article for more info.
What can we do? I don’t know if there is anything we can do. The sad fact of the matter is, the hackers are stopping at nothing to get at our money. It does not matter whether we are single, poor, rich, married, or anything in between.
While our discussion on our blog has focused on various bits of technology including VOIP, I don’t believe we ever could be in this position of worrying about our money on top of it. Check out the VOIP thread as part of the Universal Class series of tech posts. The Internet course did not even cover this at all, and I think a course updated to include methods to protect ourselves as humanly possible would be good for the general public.
You may find more information about Universal Class by going to their site. Its a world wide site that can give you CEU (continuing education units) for studying. If you have a public library card, the classes are free, otherwise, depending on the course, there’s a fee. I have seen no security basics course, and now, there should be one. Comment if you wish, the boards await you.
