It started with Edward Smith in 1831 and now it has come to the internet. Hundreds of New York residents are victimized by a cyber robbery virus known as Zeus Trojan.

The headline reads: Dozens Charged In Schemes to Steal from Bank Accounts Using Computer Viruses. Who would have thought that the futuristic phenomenon known as “the World Wide Web” would eventually become our biggest threat to our safety? What do we do now that any stranger can have access to our most valuable personal information? Internet withholds information about us that we think is kept secret, but in reality the whole world can see it….and use it.

The scariest part is that all of these criminals are overseas. This “hackers community” started across the water in Eastern Europe and worked its way over to the Eastern shores of America and hopefully won’t get the chance to spread around the world. Let’s hope that it hasn’t happened yet. I’m positive that I’m gonna make darn sure my info is safe on the internet because if it’s not safe there then it’s not safe anywhere.
