The Spy in Your PC

**gerry180** · 19-06-04

May be a run on clean-up software this weekend.

Lots of Column space in today’s Nationals spreading the word about spyware.

Mail – “The spy in you PC”
Sun – “Hackers invade 1 in 3 computers”
Evening Standard (Fri) – “NEW COMPUTER HACKER ALERT”
“One third of home PCs infected with software able to steal bank details”

Who tipped off Fleet St?

P.S. Nothing to do with 180 solutions never have been never will.

Fantastic!

That's just the kind of exposure this issue needs and deserves.

I'd love to know who's responsible for releasing this to the press. It must have been an agency, for multiple papers running the story on the same day!

I was quite surprised to see this plastered over the front page of the Evening Standard - although it's likely to just scare people - I think it would be good if it was followed up with some more information.
