Cyber criminals' paradise

A new book coming out, Harboring Data: Information Security, Law, and the Corporation (Stanford Law Books), caught my eye. And this interview with the editor of the book, Andrea M. Matwyshyn, makes me want to read it now.

"People are using the Internet more, which is a good thing. But such information sharing is leading to additional points of vulnerability. Twenty years ago, there weren't databases full of such rich consumer information as we have today. The ease of sharing information through the Internet generates targets for information criminals."

With an expected ~50% increase of internet users within the next four years the net must be considered as a paradise in cyber space for criminals.
