Spyware News - CA outlines online threats for 2008 - ITP.net
Online gamers, social networks and sensitive corporate data are among the top potential targets for online attacks in 2008, according to the latest Internet Security Outlook Report from CA. The study, based on data compiled by CA’s Global Security Advisor researchers, features internet security predictions for 2008 and reports on trends from 2007. In 2007, 56% of the total malware seen was malicious spyware, 32% was trojans, 9% was worms, and 2% was viruses. The report also stated that more than 90% of e-mail was spam, and more than 80% of spam contained links to malicious sites or malware. Malware will target virtualised computers, and increasing use of obfuscation techniques to hide in plain sight, including steganography and encryptions, will help criminals conceal their activities.
