Top Five Security Threats Expected in 2008
Quote:Top Five Security Threats Expected in 2008
Thompson's team has identified five major areas of continued or increased risk for Internet users in the coming year:

  1. Web exploits and Web-based social engineering attacks. "Viruses will continue to be a threat, but we'll also see an explosion of exploits through social engineering and Web 2.0 attacks in 2008," says Thompson.

  2. Storm Worm on the rise. "Storm is here to stay," says Obluk. "We're seeing pieces of Storm sold off to the bad guys and we expect orchestrated attacks across multiple platforms."

  3. E-mail propagated viruses. Many novice users remain unaware of email security issues and continue to open attachments from senders they do not know or click on unsafe hyperlinks.

  4. Web exploits targeting trusted web sites. "Today's cybercriminals tend to go for the low-hanging fruit," says Thompson. "If they can infiltrate a popular site, they will reap their rewards quickly and be gone in no time."

  5. An increase in the number of Windows Vista attacks. With increasing adoption of Microsoft's latest operating system, Vista will become a bigger and thus a more tempting target for the bad guys.
