Facebook Malware Targets Banking Passwords  

Posted by Josh Tomaka

Facebook users should be wary of any e-mails they receive advising that their account has been reset and asking for their password. This recent attack on Facebook users is potentially very damaging as it steals your passwords just by clicking on the link. Once the phishing agent is installed, it can actually access any username and password entered on your computer or mobile device.

This is just one of the weekly attacks on Facebook users, who are very appealing to hackers considering there are 400 million users worldwide. Security software vendor McAfee recommends installing their latest version of antivirus protection and never clicking on a link in an unsolicited email no matter how authentic it looks. They don't see an end to these attacks in sight.

I agree with Ralph, it seems as if General Motors is trying to compensate for something. Not only could this product cause accidents, but also it would likely create the need for all kinds of new safety regulations. In my opinion this windshield will cost more to GM than it is worth.

I feel as though something like this would be more related to the idea of concept cars. GM may have produced this idea just to prove that they can be unique and different from all other companies as well as to prove to consumers that they can think outside the box. While it does seem that this is not the most practical or safe idea for drivers, consumers may be impressed by this radical way of thinking from GM.

Although this looks good, this idea will go no where. Like Ralph says, it is way to distracting and will lead to even more poor driving in this country. I see this product as a lawsuit for GM, they would have to make sure they cover all the basis before selling a car with this system or it could end bad. Overall this idea may go somewhere eventually, but right now the world is not ready for it.

Agreed with all. This idea would only work if the passenger could control settings, or when the car was not moving. Otherwise, the safety regulations wouldn't permit it.
