Have you heard of crime ware? It’s the term law enforcement has come up with for programs that spy on you and steal your passwords for all kinds of accounts. According to the LA Times, this kind of crime is exploding. It works like this: you open an e-mail or Web site and type in your login and password. These programs capture the key strokes and send them to the crooks. They’re also known as key logging programs. And people have been able to steal tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a new version of "phishing" because you don’t even know it’s happened. The folks at ING Direct have come up with a way to prevent this exact type of crime. Instead of having you punch or type in your code, the site displays a keypad on the screen that people touch with their fingers. Most of other banks aren’t concerned at all. But banks are responsible if a customer’s information if compromised. Bank of America is being sued for allowing criminals to hack into people’s computers and get these numbers. If you’re doing online banking and your bank is not installing better technology, it’s time to move on to a new company.
