If "e-money" isn't safe, what then to secure wealth(the last hacker threat rallyed gold): February 27, 2000 Online Investors Can Help Guard Against Trading-Account Hackers By REBECCA BUCKMAN and SUSAN PULLIAM Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL It's every online investor's worst nightmare: A hacker attacks your online brokerage account. With recent assaults on some big online brokers, including E*Trade and Charles Schwab, many online investors are thinking about security. Though the attacks of several weeks ago only tied up service for a short period, they raised the specter of a more-serious attack involving a breach in the security of customer accounts. How likely is a scenario in which individual customer accounts are accessed by hackers? Though it hasn't happened yet, security experts say the threat is real. And the risk seems all the more real after a recent hacker attack on the Web site of RealNames by intruders who may have accessed a customer database, including credit-card numbers. "It's a relatively large problem," says Frederick Felman, president of security-firm Zone Labs. "There is a new motive here: profit. And the tools are easier and easier to get for hackers."(cont) denverpost.wsj.com
