More hack attacks originate from inside the US than from anywhere else on earth and, increasingly they're coming from more organized and focused groups. Those are the findings of a report released yesterday by security firm Symantec.
The US was the source for 31 percent of attacks, with China following a distant second at 10 percent according to the report. To make matters worse, thanks to this vibrant underground run-amok, your credit card info can be purchased for as little as $1 US, and full sets of identification credentials (name, address, mother's maiden, etc) can be had for only $14 bucks. Yikes!
In unrelated news, my name will be Robert Paulsen from here on out. I got a sweet deal too!
