If I could walk into your home and over to your desk, I could take photos of all your private files, peek at your browser history, install spyware devices and software on your computer and install cameras and listening devices. Yet, I really can’t just walk into your house: your dog would bark, you’d hear me wiggling the door knob or breaking a window. And even if I managed to sneak inside, you’d probably notice me, hard at work, doing all this bad, bad stuff at your computer and throw me out, while calling the police. Yet there is a type of malware out there that can do all these terrible things and has been getting away with it for about two years now. And until now, few even noticed or reported it.
