Norton’s Cybercrime Index | The Gadget Grill

Ever wondered just how bad the Internet really is?

Just how dangerous it is?

Would you let your 8 year old daughter wander down a dark lane, on the wrong side of the tracks, after midnight? On her own?

Do you let her surf the Internet on her own? If so, why? It’s a dark, dingy, dirty, dangerous place out there.

And now Symantec, through their Norton brand, have released their Cybercrime Index that will let you see just how nasty, just how ugly, and just how dangerous, the Internet can be.

Norton's Cybercrime Index

Norton describe this as “a free consumer-friendly web application that aims to be a simple resource that highlights cybercrime trends and helps educate people to take action.”

Translation: it’s free, and it helps you to understand that you need to keep your protection current.

The concept is that you visit the site, and it give you an insight into just what the current risks and trends out on the web actually are. It’s based upon live data, and thus it’s constantly changing.

And it also offers valuable suggestions to you as to how you can help improve your own – and your family’s – security on the net.
