Congress Declares June "Internet Safety Month"

Congress signed a resolution declaring June to be "Internet Safety Month". They cited statistics about children and their risky online behavior, defined cyber criminals, etc. The whole whoplaa is for people "to think internet security". Dallas Computer Repair knows from experience that rarely do average households think about internet security or the cyber thieves and cyber criminals that lurk out their daily and nightly.

Malware authors continue to write viruses at a record number pace and their variants are becoming rampant with new virus and trojan variations written in an untold number daily. Average computer users are either unconcerned or ignorant about the dangers of the internet and sit behind their computers behind locked doors as if they are safe from danger. The amount of dollar damage that is stolen from US citizens is quiet alarming yet average users seem to be oblivious.

For the US Congress to write such a resolution is a waste of time without any action behind it.
