Hackers in the modern day can really be a problem. But if you talk about money being involved (which is usually the case) breaching a supposedly secure IT infrastructure is bound to get a lot of attention.

It is in these cases where you have to wonder, do you credit the intelligence of these people or curse them for being able to breach such confidential systems. The $50,000 dollars that they got was no joke and these days, that money can go a long way. A recourse stemming from the hard times perhaps?

Police said a hacker, possibly with international connections, succeeded in planting a keystroke logger onto the computer of Sandwich, Mass., Treasurer Craig Mayen, and was able to watch while he entered his security password, The Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

You have to hand it to these people. In times where money is hard to come by, hitting a town treasury is certainly an accomplishment for them. However, it also means that you are liable for crime and lawsuits especially if you get caught. At the moment, the only lead to it all is a Florida man who said he was wired money to open the accounts reportedly from Russia. A Russian hacker? It can make sense.

What drives a potential developer to come up with their own anti-spyware software? Well for sure, it is the part where he would experience such a inconvenience and apparently for Blue Penguin Software founder Carl Haugen, this lead to the development of SpyZooka.

SpyZooka guarantees 100% removal of spyware, adware, Trojan horses, hijackers, botnets and other malware threatening the security of your computer. SpyZooka will accomplish this in an astoundingly fast 24 hours! Blue Penguin backs up this guarantee with solid results, round the clock technical support and a string of satisfied customers.

The success of SpyZooka has been quiet since 2004. In fact, SpyZooka was not even among the top anti-spyware software that we would come across the web. But regardless, SpyZooka is not a hoax or pushover. It has even gotten a number of prestigious awards including Wugnet’s Shareware Hall of Fame and Tucows five cows.

So how is this new software reliable? Well for one, it covers most of the hazards of the web today including Trojans, spyware, adware hijackers and botnets. Much of these malicious things reside on the web and on some websites that we rarely notice.
