Now, part of the robbed entrepreneurs claim that the U.S. government and banks are obliged to protect them from this type of robbery. The total amount of money lost through fraud in online banking in the third quarter of 2009 was $ 120 million. Typically, the money were taken from personal accounts as a result of their owner lured to a malicious Web site, resulting in out of the PC installed Trojan horse software that detects passwords to bank accounts.
