attack, how you might be a target

(CNN) - Imagine waking up one morning to discover all your personal information
has been stolen. Your bank account has been cleaned out. The project you have
been working on for the past six months has vanished. Your e-mails have been
infected with a virus that has copied itself to all the people you have ever
exchanged e-mails with. You try to make a call but your mobile phone's address
book has been deleted remotely.
