A report released Monday said that nearly 80 percent of children in the U.S., between the ages of 0 and 5, use the Internet on at least a weekly basis.

Television use is still the most popular form of media among toddlers, according to the report from education non-profits Joan Ganz Cooney Center and Sesame Workshop.

Mobio Identity Systems New App

A new report by Mobio Identity Systems Inc., the creators of the Mobio app that allows users to make payments via their phones using QR codes, shows that the use of QR codes has risen by 1,200%. The study highlights QR use in North American during the last six months of 2010. The report uses no third-party data, however, and is derived completely from Mobio’s servers.

The report shows that the majority of QR scans are coming from people between the ages of 35 and 44. It had been estimated that QR’s popularity would be driven by a younger generation, but those aged 18-24 account for only 16% of usage. While the 25-34 age range still makes up a sizable portion, 22%, the report reveals that an older crowd is more readily adopting QR codes.

Gender seems to play a role in how many scans are being made. The report shows that women make up the majority of QR scanners. Of the data Mobio has compiled, 64% of scanners are women. Women have shown more interest on products that are associated with QR codes and have been making more mobile purchases.

Posing as a cybercriminal to gain access to this online black market, PandaLabs researchers uncovered a world where the bad guys work together to buy and sell stolen bank account information, credit card numbers, passwords, and other products. Much of this illegal enterprise is done through online stores and forums, but PandaLabs found criminals using Facebook and Twitter accounts to set up shop as well.

But it's not just digital data for sale. PandaLabs found cloned credit cards selling for $190, card cloning machines running anywhere from $200 to $1,000, and fake ATM machines costing from $3,500 to $35,000.
