A Tale of Two Malware Attacks: One Blocked and One Brutal

How bad can it get when malware protection fails? And what can you do about it? CBS Interactive and Symantec are proud to present “A tale of two malware attacks: one blocked and one brutal,” a cautionary tale that explores what goes wrong when users in small and medium-sized business aren’t properly protected.

Join us as we meet Daniel Carter, VP of Finance at Lunagate Industries, a 38-person, up-and-coming contract design firm. Daniel was doing something many small business owners and managers have to do regularly: visiting his bank’s Web site. Unfortunately, Daniel’s computer was not sufficiently protected; malware made its way through Daniel’s browser and onto his computer. The net result: Daniel’s company lost more than half a million dollars and Daniel lost his job.
