Future Tense with Jon Gordon
A new book explores the growing threats to cyber security. Every day, potential thieves are gathering information on the Internet to help them steal from individuals, and very little is being done to stop them.
Jon Gordon talked with Jon Swartz, one of the authors of "Zero Day Threat: The Shocking Truth of How Banks and Credit Bureaus Help Cyber Crooks Steal Your Money and Identity."
Swartz says that the inability of law enforcement and other entities to ensure online security has made the problem worse. "Cyber crooks," he says, know what they're doing is the best way to make money with the least chance of getting caught.
