Internet thieves are seeking to profit through assumption of users' identities and their weapon of choice is the Trojan horse. The Prodigy-Zone Labs announcement goes a long way toward thwarting this growing concern. At least one in 10 high-speed Internet users will experience or be victimized in a hacker attack according to Current Analysis, a market research firm. In fact, the longer a computer is online, the more time it is exposed to break in. Always-on Internet connections, such as cable modems and Digital Subscriber Lines, provide more opportunities for hackers to get in, steal information, and get out.
Consumers are at risk, and hackers are targeting home computers more often.
Broadband security will spur even greater growth in the residential broadband market, and we're happy to work together with Prodigy to make that a reality. Unlike any other security utility, ZoneAlarm makes Internet security accessible by all types of users. ZoneAlarm automatically configures itself while it protects user PCs by repelling attempted intrusions. By using ZoneAlarm, users take total control over how their computers use the Internet making it virtually impossible for hackers to access their personal and confidential information over the Internet without their knowledge. ZoneAlarm works silently in the background to protect users with always-on Internet connections.
