Internet Attacks Expected To Hit A High Today

Research by security company PC Tools has revealed that today could be the worst day for web-based attacks on internet shoppers, as the festive shopping period begins to gear up.
Andrew Moloney, European marketing director for security firm RSA, said that online fraudsters are more likely to strike at this time because of the peak in consumer e-commerce activity.



Technology that generates a one-time password on a separate device like a token, credit card or mobile phone is a very powerful way to avoid online fraud, and by building security into devices that are always with the consumer, it helps to encourage adoption.

The science behind IT security is complex, but implementing a comprehensive and effective IT security solution doesn’t have to be," argued Rakash Gupta, chief executive of network and email security vendor PineApp UK.
