The SSL layer is what encrypts your private information such as credit card number, address and other private data about you. The reason why this is such a major issue is that it is a zero day flaw. A zero day flaw means that flaw is currently being exploited in the wild and that is why it is critical it gets fixed ASAP. The risk to people who make purchases online is slim because to take advantage of this flaw you must have a highly advanced understand of how computers and programing. Over the next couple of week you will start to see patches for Internet Explorer, Firefox and all servers that have internet connections. When the patches are released all internet users will need to download them immediately to assure a high level of computer security.

New Trojan Stealing Your Bank Account Informatiom and Money
September 30, 2009A new trojan spreading across the internet is designed to steal your bank account information and money. This new trojan will infect IE 6, 7, 8, Firefox and Opera running on Windows. This new trojan obtains your username and password of your bank account and then starts to withdraw money from your accounts. What makes this trojan so dangerous is that it creates a fake webpage that displays your bank account information as if nothing was missing but in reality your money is being withdrawn. This kind of trojan will start to be common place in the near future as more computer users don’t protect themselves. Computer security is critical to anybody access the internet and everybody should have spyware software installed. If you are doing online banking then spyware software is even more critical to computer security.
