Today in Australia, the Internet Industry Association (IIA) announced it will be offering end-users free trial of anti-spyware, anti-virus and anti-spam products as part of its GetNetSafe program. The program will help raise awareness of spyware’s ability to log keystrokes and steal personal information from computers.
“The focus of computer threats has changed considerably over the last 12 months to become highly targeted at small groups of internet users”, Sean Richmondof Sophos said in a statement.
“Cyber criminals are using spyware programs, trojan horses and phishing campaigns to acquire corporate and personal information in the hope of stealing significant amounts of money from their victims.”
Hmmm...I think there's a lot of end user and enterprise education that must be done quickly. I will have a series of product announcements to aid in this effort in three weeks time.
