Brokerage accounts at risk

This is a little terrifying:

High-tech crooks are hijacking online brokerage accounts using spyware and operating from remote locations, sometimes in Eastern Europe, U.S. market regulators said on Friday.

Of course, common sense steps like keeping your pc clean of spyware and avoiding public computers will make such hijackings unlikely.
