Cyber crimes against internet banking and e-commerce sites which have access to credit card numbers are increasing. Criminal networks are able to access your computer, turn it into a zombie and use it as a bridge defraud other consumers. In Portugal, according to the Judiciary Police, more than 2 million Euros were robbed through cyber crime last year. Project Nonius, supported by researchers from University of Coimbra Science & Technology College, concluded that we are facing serious risks because of Internet usage within Portugal.
Aiming to find solutions to the computer vulnerabilities, a summit with IT Security specialists from several countries was concluded yesterday at Albufeira. Dinis Cruz, board member of OWASP - Open Web Application Security Project - said to Correio da Manhã that ‘the tools discussed during this meeting were created to defend computers against these threats and are available to anyone from the OWASP web site”
