Malware is completely out of control on the Internet and it is amazing the problems it is causing. Haker hijackers attack and take over someone's computer or website and then place a code that loads a virus, malware, spywate or some Trojan on their website viewers computer. Most security software stops this but not all.
Once this information is on your computer it can cause a breach of security. Some of the malware logs key-strokes and thus will get access to your passwords and that is very problematic of course. Worse it is often the victim which gets in trouble for it all. The website or computer which was hacked. What is wrong with this picture?
How bad is the problem? Severe and at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, authorities admitted to the industry that they needed help to combat this crime. One thought was to educate the public better. Good idea, but that alone will not stop it. Some in the industry suggest that the ISPs need to work harder to stop this, as they ought to know who their customers are.
Some do, some don't and some don't care, all of which is another huge problem. Solutions are what we need before hackers destroy the Internet and make it unuseful to anyone. These problems need our immediate priority indeed;
