Many companies falling prey to hackers who have turned thieves


PETALING JAYA: On a regular business day in June, boxes of what appeared to be anti­virus software were delivered to two branches of a remittance agency in Kuala Lumpur and Muar.

On the box was a note, purportedly from the chief executive officer, telling the supervisors the company was undergoing a security upgrade and asking them to install the disks in every computer in their office.
