Symantec (makers of Norton Antivirus) released an Internet Security Report yesterday. Some of the highlights:
There were more than 6 million bot-infested computers in the latter half of 2006.
US based credit cards with verification numbers are available for $1-$6.
A full identity complete with bank account number, credit card, and date of birth goes for $14-$18.
I just experienced a fraudulent transaction on my last credit card statement that exceeded $1000, so I found this report pretty scary. You can read the full press release here:
