Malware Threats Up 48 Percent in 2005
Threats from malware (viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and the like) have increased 48 percent - from 10,724 in 2004 to 15,907 new ones this year - according to the annual Sophos Security Threat Management Report, writes TechNewsWorld/E-Commerce Times. The report also found that one in every 44 emails carries a virus; new Trojans are being minted faster than Windows worms at a rate of almost two to one; pill and miracle elixirs top the spam charts, but porn and stock scams are surging; and cyber-criminals are coming together and combining their technologies to attack their victims.
