As one who’s been hacked several times — my wife’s email was just hacked the other day — I’m pretty alert to cybertheft.
But no matter how good your antivirus program is, if you open a suspect email, you make yourself vulnerable to Trojan horses that steal email and bank-access information.
The latest wrinkle in this ongoing cyberpiracy is called “Gameover.” The hackers send out emails that look like they’re from a bank or the Federal Reserve. Typically they ask for you to verify banking or personal information, but they’re just “phishing” for something to steal from you.
