[December 23, 2011] New Study by J&M Security Finds Up to 80% of Small Business Computers Vulnerable to Hacker Attacks

Kansas City, MO, Dec 23, 2011 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- But even anti-virus software may not be enough. Hackers can exploit security in holes in out-of-date applications such as Microsoft Office, Sun Java, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Flash. More than half of Microsoft Office installations were vulnerable, nearly three-fourths of Java installations were out of date, and over 80% of Acrobat programs were out of date.







McKenney, who is founder of Daily Safety Check(R), a service that alerts businesses when their computers have been attacked or are at risk from cyber attacks, says, "Once inside the computer, cybercriminals can operate with relative immunity, giving criminals access to bank accounts, financial information and trade secrets." With Daily Safety Check, small businesses can be alerted to security holes in their employee or Point-of-Sale computers and get help updating them. "Within 60 days," McKenney notes, "PC-vulnerabilities were near zero on client computers."
