CRI听力: Live Call-in with David Freer on Norton Online Cybercrime Report

2010-09-14来源:和谐英语


David Freer, Norton's Vice President of Consumer Business for Asia Pacific and Japan.

In the age of facebook, twitter, blogs and more, an increasing amount of time is being spent on-line. But the internet is also becoming a trickier place to stay safe—old photos, comments and personal information can often be dredged up with a quick search.

A new report by the online security firm Norton suggests that two thirds of web users have been hit by cybercrime. One in five internet users have also done something online that they now regret.

So, how can we stay safe online? To tell us more about the report is David Freer, Norton's Vice President of Consumer Business for Asia Pacific and Japan. He joins us live from Singapore.

Q: What were the most surprising/interesting findings from the research? What kind of cybercrime are we talking about—is it mostly financial?

Q: The study also finds that 17 percent of respondents lied about their age online, 7 percent about their appearance. These seem like pretty innocuous lies, why are they significant?

Q: Are there any cybercrime trends specific to China?

Q: How can internet users protect themselves online?
