Symantec Threat Report

I went to check out the Threat report of Symantec -

http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/white_papers/ent-whitepaper_internet_security_threat_report_xii_apj_09_2007.en-us.pdf

The key findings has 4 important componets (Jan 2007 to June 2007):

1. Attack Trends Highlights

2. Malicious Code Trends Highlights

3. Phishing Trends Highlights

4. Spam Trends Highlights

Again, China, a powerhouse in economics and huge Internet users almost topped in most of the categories except Phishing Trends. Japan, followed by Taiwan topped the table of most-phishing activities instead.

One of the interesting findings is that when SYMantec - Malicious activity by country per Internet user, Sri Lanka topped the table (illustrates that hacker preferred to house their malicous server in a under-developing countries whereby law & regulations coupled with low-skilled in security capability) Singapore, ranked 4th with 13%.

Hence, stay vigilant and keep malware out of bound.
