Why many popular websites are risky
Internet security company McAfee says interactive web applications, like Google Mail or Facebook, will be among the biggest threats to computer security over the next year. McAfee notes that cybercriminals have already targeted sites such as Salesforce, Monster and Linked In to harvest personal and financial information users enter on those sites.
Robert Hansen, CEO of security company SecTheory, says the biggest threat to web applications is a kind of phishing.
