Discuss how scareware attacks are executed.
What will be an ideal response?
A scareware attack often starts with a pop-up message on your screen, "Virus Activity Detected!" claiming that your computer has a virus-and for $19.95 you can download antivirus software to fix the problem. The unwary user who buys the software thinks the problem is resolved, but the software is really useless and delivers malware, and the vendor sells the user's credit card number. In 2010, a new method of delivering scareware, using a bogus update to the Firefox web browser, was discovered in England.
