Security Issues
With the advance in technology over the years, access to information has become quite easy, and confidential data can now be accessed in a matter of minutes with a few clicks. There is an increasing reliance on everything being available “online”, whether it is netbanking, credit card information, investments et al.
It is not surprising to see in the increase of “phishing” sites that have mushroomed lately, and banks have been under a lot of pressure to educate their customers about which sites and links NOT to visit.
Almost a decade ago, there was an interesting movie called, quite appropriately, “The Net“, in which the character played by Sandra Bullock becomes a victim when her identity is switched.
