Cyber Crimes Rising Against Small Businesses

Posted Monday, September 14, 2009
by Greg Hudson

Cyber crimes are on the rise against small and medium-sized businesses. The reason: companies just don't have the resources to stay on top of updating their computer security. 

A large amount of the attacks are the work of cyber groups based in another country who not only steal credit card info, but personal info such as social security numbers, according to the Detroit News.

The article explained that as larger companies have taken on more sophisticated computer network protections, cyber criminals have targeted smaller businesses who do not have such high-level security.
