Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Infobase (Added Author). TED Conferences LLC. (Added Author).

Summary: It's been more than two decades since the first PC virus hit the Internet, and what was once little more than an annoyance created by teen hackers and hobbyists has become a sophisticated tool for crime. In this TEDTalk, computer security expert Mikko Hypponen discusses the viruses that can scavenge credit card numbers and deplete bank accounts, and the international crime rings behind them. As computer access expands, Hypponen asks: What is the next killer virus, and will the world be able to cope with it?
