FTC: Cyberspace Still a Dangerous Neighborhood
William Jackson writes on GCN.com:
The Federal Trade Commission this morning kicked off National Cyber Security Awareness Month by announcing a settlement in a case against a distributor of spyware that will cost the company $330,000.More here.
The case, against an outfit called ERG Ventures that bundled malware with seemingly innocent software such as screensavers or video files, was one of a number of actions involving online fraud and data breaches pursued by the FTC in the past two years, FTC Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras said at the opening of the National Cyber Security Awareness summit in Washington.
