60% of our computers are useless

Ondrej Vlcek, vice-president of Avast Antivirus has given some shocking statistics about the safety of Indian computers. According to Ondrej 60% of the personal computers in our country are vulnerable to cyber crimes. Not just the computers even the printers, routers and phones we use can very easily be compromised. Reason! There is no strict regulatory mechanism from the government on the IT infrastructure. It has no cue about the ways to curb the security threats or resolve the problems. Both citizens and the government are negligent about the cyber safety. In contrast only 9% of personal computes in Japan are vulnerable to security threats. `most countries are taking precautionary steps specially when it comes to hardware devices. But government-enabled regulations can prevent cyber crimes with the growth of Internet...’ said Mr. Ondrej.
