London: The computer users in the world are warned to protect their computers from viruses as these viruses are not only capable of stealing important data from your computer but they also have the potential to empty your bank accounts! This astonishing news was revealed by the British crime agency. According to the reports, this virus was used to steal personal data from people’s computers, which includes pictures as well.
The criminals would steal important data from the computer and then demand cash in return for their data. The virus has affected about 15000 of the British users and it would have cost the British economy a loss of millions of dollars, if the information technology experts had not identified the potential threat and prevented these attacks.
