     Everyone knows you should NEVER click on link with an unknown destination; however, human curiosity has a way of making us do stupid things and THAT is what hackers count on. Once you click on that link, attachment, email file, etc.. they have access to your computer.

     In a case called Trident Breach, “hackers stole $70 million from the payroll accounts of some 400 American companies and organizations” by e-mail links and attachments infected with ZeuS, a Trojan bug that targeted and recorded passwords and usernames of online banking accounts (“University Professor”).
      Let it be clear that these hackers stole $70 million dollars from the safety of their homes in Eastern Europe. They used a key logger program, that recorded the keystrokes when infected users typed in their password. Talk about hurting the economy, random people in another country stole $70 million dollars from Americans, and generally we don't catch the hackers. So, this number is big, but in the scheme of things it's not.
