The truth about how Spyware affects you
Do you access the internet through your computer or smartphone? If you do, you are vulnerable to spyware.
Spyware is no joke. Over 1 million people get victimized by spyware or malware attacks on a daily basis. If you broke down that number to seconds, that’s roughly about 1 victim each second.
It has even got to the point where it’s costing The United Sates economy a butt-load of money too. We’re not talking chump change either. In 2013, spyware attacks cost the US a hefty $38 billion to fight back against these threats. To put that number in perspective, it’s costing the global economy $113 billion dollars.
What’s causing all these attacks? Malicious software code injection to web browsers are the usual prime suspect. They’re also passed along through viruses and shady downloads.
