Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Stephen Trilling says that to increase the likelihood of
fooling users, rogue security software creators design their programs
so that they appear as credible as possible, “mimicking the look and
feel of legitimate security software programs.”
“In addition, these programs are often
distributed on websites that appear credible and enable the user to
easily download the illegitimate software. Some malicious sites
actually use legitimate online payment services to process credit card
transactions and others return an e-mail message to the victim with a
receipt for purchase – complete with serial number and customer service
number.”
Trilling concludes that the findings of the report on rogue security
software “make it clear that cybercriminals are willing, eager, and
well-equipped to prey on today’s Internet user,” and that “to avoid
becoming a victim of such predatory practices, Symantec strongly urges
Internet users to make sure they are using the latest security
protection and always obtain their security software directly from
trusted vendors’ websites.”
