Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 24, 2007 -- This spring, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) challenges small businesses to make cyber security a top priority. While the public is fixated on high-profile corporate and government database breaches, hackers and identity thieves are increasingly targeting millions of small businesses. According to a 2005 FBI Cyber Crime Study, 90 percent of small businesses had at least one cyber security incident within the past year. Not taking the correct cyber security precautions and approach makes small businesses’ computer networks easy targets. Hackers can easily steal from and use these networks as launching pads to attack others, send phishing emails, and even steal from home users.]]> http://www.intellectualsecurity.com/2007/04/national_cyber_security_allian.php http://www.intellectualsecurity.com/2007/04/national_cyber_security_allian.php personal Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:15:11 -0500 In the United States, patent laws vary from state to state or even from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
