Microsoft CEO Warns of Internet Dangers
By TED BRIDIS, AP Technology Writer

WASHINGTON - Computer users, beware. The head of the world's largest software company worries that consumers who make Internet purchases have become too complacent about the risks of financial fraud and stolen identity.



Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said in an interview with The Associated Press that a calm period without significant Internet attacks has lulled computer users, even older Web surfers who traditionally have been more anxious than teenagers about their online safety.

"I don't want trepidation high, but on the other hand I want people aware of what's going on and taking appropriate precautions," Ballmer said Thursday. "I'm afraid that may have declined, a little too much."

Ballmer and other technology executives, all part of the Washington-based Business Software Alliance, met in Washington with congressional leaders and members of President Bush's Cabinet to lobby over Internet security, foreign trade and protections against software piracy.

They also met with AP reporters and editors for a broad-ranging conversation about future technologies, downloading music, keeping children away from online smut and general Internet safety.
