ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

Norton Online Family parental control software protects your kids from online predators by allowing you to understand what your kids are really doing online and spot potential dangers before they become problems...

Each year, for the past four, Norton has delved deeper into the far-reaching negative affects of cybercrime on real people as well as tried to get a pulse on how the security implications of new emerging technologies and trends are shaping the way people use the internet.

The study continues to be groundbreaking on a variety of levels and further exposes the truly devastating emotional and economic impact of cybercrime. This year the study is the most comprehensive to date as Norton has expanded its research to represent 24 countries, up from 14 last year. It has connected with 20,000 people around the world to gain an understanding of how cybercrime affects real people in real ways and how the adoption of new technologies, such as mobile, will affect people’s security.

The costs of cybercrime are criminal: 388 billion USD lost in just 12 months. While half the world is in recession, cybercrime bucks the trend as a growth industry.

Symantec, the anti-virus maker, has confirmed that a hacking group has stolen a “segment” of its flagship product.

The firm said that the code relates to two older enterprise products, one of which is no longer in production.

===> But it said the breach was on a third-party network rather than its own, and will “not affect any current Norton product”. <===
