McAfee’s H*Commerce Web Series
Yes, there is an underground business of buying and selling stolen credentials and identities. It is a huge business that really does wreck peoples’ lives and credit histories. But I’m not quite sure it is as scary as McAfee is making it out to be. This is the first video in a six-part series at their new site, StopHCommerce.Com. Kudos for raising awareness, but jeers on the parade of idiot victims, fear, uncertainty and doubt. Enjoy.
