Botnets and larger scale potential
So I know that many people feel like there is too much sensationalism about these botnet stories before. Yet I am find myself becoming concerned. Yes I use a PC but I am very careful about my downloads and only open email attachments that I have secured through an outside email anti-theft program. However it is other computer cause disturbances to vital systems that concerns me. DarkReading reports had an FBI report an the rising cyber crime and threats.
The potential for cyber-threats is ever growing and has to be a concern for even national security. I just really don't feel safe with online security that the government has been using that releases so many people's personal information each year.
An article about their laptop security alone cause me plenty of worry.
