Canadian Cyber Crime is Exploding

Do you keep your computer system properly protected from cyber crime?  According to a report on www.cbc.ca. cyber crime is ballooning.


Canada it seems  ranks second in the world -- even ahead of Russian and Egypt --  for hosted phishing sites  and such sites have ballooned  239 percent since last year. This is part of a world wide trend.


Some  50,000 such sites are discovered around the world each month according to a spokesperson from DV Labs, Hewlett Packard's security division.


The CBC feature is worth a look as it also contains a link to a related feature on protecting yourself online from phishing and other sites.
