Abstract

Since the beginning, people have perceived privacy and security as the biggest risk related with Internet. As a result, many Internet security solutions have been developed, such as antivirus, authentication mechanism, firewalls, security protocols, and security policies. However, every year organized crime and criminals commit several attacks against innocent people via the Internet. In this paper, we explain how millions of Internet users lost their privacy and control over their personal and financial information by means of the web registration form and social network sites.
