"The frequency and magnitude of reported data theft incidents consistently reminds us of the real threat that exists as our reliance on the Internet to bank, shop, and personally or professionally interconnect continues to grow,? said Greg Salvato, chief executive officer at Privacyware. ?Our new Privatefirewall release provides expanded packet inspection to support IPv6 and offers greater protection from keyboard, screen, clipboard and other logging techniques used by hackers and malware to steal private data.?
