How to Prevent a Cyber Attack

By -
As the sophistication of cyber criminals continues to increase, their methods and targets have also evolved. Instead of building the large Internet worms that have become so familiar, these criminals are now spending more time concentrating on wealth gathering crimes, including fraud and data theft.

CyberMedia states that 86% of all attacks are aimed at home users (2006).
