That’s fact; if you get hacked and your money gets stolen then the Banks won’t pay up unless your computer is secure, and you will be left to pick up the tab!!!
As recently reported by the money Guru on GMTV (UK TV) if you use online banking and you get hacked. robbed, impersonated, spied upon or whatever, and the you are left with a big big debt, the banks will check your computer and if you have not taken sufficient actions to prevent it happening then you are at fault and will be charged with FRAUD, you will then have a even bigger debt to overcome!
So it is up to you to make yourself secure online.
Businesses don’t get off lightly either!
Did you know that a business owner is legally liable for the safety of personal information held about others employees, customers, patients, suppliers, subscribers in fact just about anyone at all.
We expect doctors, accountants, lawyers and the like to be bound by stringent privacy safeguards. But in most jurisdictions those same laws apply to the business owner as well.
Further, in many cases the business operator is also legally responsible for the actions of employees.
The harsh reality is that, in the event of unauthorized access to information stored on your computers, if it can be shown that you didn't take all reasonable steps to safeguard that information, you could find yourself facing civil litigation or criminal charges or both.
And be warned: the installation of an anti-virus program doesn't even come close to "all reasonable steps" by any definition.
A leading expert has produced a document to help you out with this problem so you don’t have to pay out a fortune to resolve the issues.
