Kinko's Spy Case Illustrates Public Terminal Risk

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the virtual-identity-theft dept.

tealwarrior writes "CNN reports in this story that a hacker by the name of Jiang was charged with installing keystroke loggers to record passwords in 14 differnet kinkos in New York. These were then used to open bank accounts online. The article mentions Jiang signing people up for accounts with GoToMyPC then then using their own machine to open bank accounts. Also mentioned are similar schemes perpetrated at Boston College." Be careful out there, folks. Sometimes there's even sneakier things than just stealing one's cookies.

    OK guys, i seriously dont know what youre getting at here, but this is worse then the rape accusations against Kobe Bryant. Honestly, you should read a book on the subject because theres alot more depth then you think.

    I would use Ad-Aware with caution. I have tried Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. I find Spybot a much better program.
