Internet Fraud Increased up to Three Times

 Number of peoples are involved in fraudulent activities on Internet.In this year from January to April,peoples involved in criminal activities exchange the information of common people and cost of this information  was $10.2 million.This figure is three time higher compared to last year.

This research was published by aykspyryyn company and also said that this increase is partially due to increased usage of Internet and number of accounts also.Most of Internet user average accounts are twenty six but they generally use only five passwords.According to company most of the people are unaware of Internet fraud and they even don't know that their accounts are hacked. They know at that time when credit card stopped working or unable to buy a new mobile.

It is advised to the user that they should change their passwords on regular basis and make these passwords more difficult so that the hacker could not easily access password. In last weak 400,000 passwords were hacked from a famous Internet company Yahoo and most of the accounts were not in use. One million passwords of andruad company were also hacked in last week. Another company which makes graphics tools,four million passwords were stolen.

Microsoft which is the leading company in software technology reveled that there were attacks on other companies accounts and twenty percent of these peoples are among the information stolen. Nine percent loans were approved on stolen information and seven percent people were become defaulter. Fourteen percent peoples were refused about new loans and also rejected to making new credit cards.Most of the people even don't know that on their behalf illegal activities are going on. Most of the information stolen when a user use credit card. information stolen is used outside the country and police have no jurisdiction in other countries.

People should use credit card on authentic and well reputed sites with strong securities and also changed the accounts passwords on regular basis and should  make them so difficult.
