Small Businesses Hammered By Cybercrime

Following is quoted from an article by Ashesh Mamidi dated August 14, 2010 on InfoSec Island Begins (See link below for complete paper.) 


Small businesses today have shifted from paper records to electronically stored information.  This so-called digitalization process has helped small businesses attain a dramatically more efficient way of doing business.
On the other hand, this has also opened new doors for cyber criminals to penetrate a small businesses' data system.  This trend could result in massive financial and retail security fraud and breaches over the next decade.

Criminals will find new avenues to get malicious software onto a small business' computer systems.  There will be attempts to embed malicious software into the downloads of software from reputable vendors...........
