Organized Online Crime is The Reason For Increase in Online Dating Sites?
Guy Matthews writes on The Inquirer:
THE NUMBER of dating sites across the world has increased by 17 per cent within the last twelve months, due partly to organised phishers, spammers and hackers using them to launch attacks on unwary lovers.
This is the claim of security vendor Internet Security Systems (ISS), which believes that some of the growth in web dating is down to developers of malicious code hoping to catch unsuspecting victims.
According to ISS, the five countries with the highest increase in dating websites over the past year are USA with 42.9%; Germany with 20.2%; China with 8.9%; the Netherlands with 7.9% and Russia close by with 7%. Interestingly, the UK reaches the top eight with an increase of only 1.8%.
