Hi all,
It seems that I've got too much anxious over a spyware. I'm so happy
I've chosen the best platform. No worry about a kind of malicious
spyware. A lot of friendly and kind mates on the list! So could I keep
asking more although I'm not posting Mac-related topics?
You really should not, but just this once . . . . . . .
Technical question:
They are installed by viewing some malicious web site or email
(attachment). After secretly installing, they're waiting for what they
want. By the way, what's their target information? Is it four 4 digits
continuous numbers such as credit card code or bank account number? Do
they have the function to detect a selective typing stroke from the
keyboard?
Pass. Not relevant to Macs!
Legal question:
If the stolen credit card or bank a/c is used illegally, will the card
owner has to pay for it? In an actual life, credit card fraud
sometimes happen. But I remember that the victim hasn't to pay in case
they take the proper procedure for it.
As long as the victim has behaved responsibly, most UK banks will not
expect the victim to pay. But if the victim has acted stupidly - like
recording a PIN and keeping a note in the wallet with the credit card -
then the banks can make the victim liable . Other countries may be
different . . .
