"The increased threat of
cybercrime"
Dear friends:
Jon Christian Ryter always provides insightful and helpful
articles. Today he writes about cybercrime, which is far worse and
more prevalent than most of us can imagine. Below is Jon's
introductory comment and link to his full article.
If anyone doubts the sinful nature of man and pervasiveness of evil, just
consider the fact that every time you log on to the Internet, there is
some cyber-criminal out there, sometimes many, just waiting to literally
rob you. These lost souls have no conscience. They know no
mercy. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one" (Romans 3:10). Only those who by faith have received
the imputed righteousness of Christ are righteous.
Millions of Muslims want to kill you, and millions of others want to rob
you. It is a totally unsafe world, and only God's protection is
reliable.
Jim

The newest generation of cyberthief has arrived and he is worse than the
worst bandits of history. Sadly, you have little protection from
him, and when he hits, he will take everything. Here is a brief
excerpt from my report on BEHIND THE HEADLINES. Read the excerpt
and don't fail to read the article.
Cybercrime is evolving
as fast as cybertechnology is advancing. Every fascinating new
cybergadget, cyberbell and whistle designed to give cybermerchants more
access to you, also gives cyberthieves the same access...Where hackers in
the past created dummy clone pages that were representative of pages used
by PayPal, eBay, AOL, Bank Of America, Chase Bank, Citigroup, and hundreds of other regional banks
and/or credit card payment centers, hoping to trap bank and credit card
information from unsuspecting customers who believed someone had accessed
their account, the Internet industry recently discovered that hackers
have corrupted tens if not hundreds of thousandands of legitimate web
pages by implanting bugs that redirect the computer to a host server that
will then "detail" your computer by, first, strip searching it
for sensitive financial data, and then compromising your computer by
linking it to a network of spamming devises known as
"bots."
