Millions of Cyber Attacks a Day

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- According to a story, http://www.forbes.com/2010/08/06/internet-government-security-technology-cio-network-cyber-attacks.html from Forbes, many larger companies face security attacks almost daily, but the U.S. Department of Energy receives over 10 million attacks every day. The article states that the attacks vary from simple scans all the way to phishing attacks which try to take over via malicious code. Small numbers of attacks have gotten through, but it appears the sensitive data was kept secure.

For the average person, this should be a huge wake-up call. A large-scale data breach from a retailer, medical facility, or even a government entity that houses your data, could put your private information into the hands of an identity thief. If that happens would you know what to do?
