Did you know that cyber criminals can trade your e-mail account? Yes, that's right. According to the latest Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, these evil people buy and sell hacked e-mail accounts. Just 65p and hackers can turn your account into "Malware Mule".

Researchers from Symantec have noted that when hackers pay this amount of money, they can purchase your e-mail login data and passwords. And as soon as they gain access to the hacked account, messages containing viruses are suddenly being sent to all the contacts in the list.

'Malware Mules' are one of the most worrying trends identified in Symantec's Internet Security Threat report," stated Con Mallon, security expert at Symantec.
