Nano-Marketing

I came accross this surprising blog from a researcher at McAfee , Mr F Paget and this outstanding graph explaining what is taking place in some european countries... the story is self explanatory... an internet user is a victim of hacking (nothing new there...) and anytime he or she is visiting a host site all is ID and personnal data are pomped into a collector site... the last attack just in France weighted 3 gigabits of data for 500 personnes creating 51K files in 2 days (all the details are in the post). Then this picture is just visualising the geolocalised IP address of the victims... authorities are aware but the numbers are building up... scary according to these facts enhanced by Web 2.0 technologies and bloggers... We had to let know our readers that NNM has 2 sides too... 

For more details see the link http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2007/05/25/another-identity-theft-story-2/

Driving is a dangerous act if one does not control his own car, hence a driving licence and the police to control that someone has it... putting more control of ID is not stopping the spreading of theft phenomenon as there are trojan placed into the user computer with applications reproducing all the codes... vaccination and certification of proper maintenance of germ-frees might be more effective... any ideas ?
