small business security statistics

[cclymer at gmail.com (Chris Clymer)]

I cant quote stats, but if youre wondering if this is really happening  
the answer is yes.  That sort of ACH fraud is exactly what the Zeus  
botnet malware does, and its a very popular flavor of malware.

Small businesses are targetted because the criminal is more likely to  
have success infecting a pc, as well as move money before someone  
notices.  While many FIs require seperate users to create and release  
an ACH transfer, small businesses will often choose to have a single  
employee perform both, often from the same PC.

Google the zeus malware and youll find lots written on this
