C-Level e-Crime: Is Your CEO a Cybercrime Target?

Barbara Darrow writes on ComputerWorld:

A CFO at a Fortune 1000 company holds his cursor over an e-mail that appears to be from a direct report. In reality, it's from someone he's never met, a criminal who's targeted and stalked the highly compensated executive, searching through company SEC filings and compiling personal details through corporate and social networking sites.

Now the cybercriminal is in position to launch an attack that will allow him to mine the CFO's hard drive for credit card numbers, passwords to corporate databases or other proprietary information.

In one click, the CFO is going to have himself a big problem.
