LA City Loses $450K Due to Keylogger

Chances are, since you are on our website, you know how to properly protect yourself while on the computer. It seems that some do not, and here is a perfect example of what can happen:

Armed with a spyware program, the thieves tracked Avilla’s moves on her laptop and obtained bank passwords. They wired $90,000 to a “Diego Smith” in North Carolina. One day later, on May 24, the thieves got bolder as they wired $358,000 from the city’s bank account to a bank in Kalamazoo, Mich.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather someone not steal my $450,000. At least not until I finish saving up for a second 8800GTX so I can run SLI.
