Description:
The McAfee Threats Report brings you the latest in statistics and analysis covering email- and web based threats.
The Conficker worm, officially W32/Conficker.worm, has received as much attention as any security threat in recent history. This report will provide some perspective as to whether this attention is hype or reality. We will also focus on threats that do not receive the same level of media attention, but that in fact could be more dangerous than their more popular counterpart.
The geography of the threat landscape continues to evolve. This report offers analysis of the geographical contributions to threats-including spam origin, zombie creation, and malware site locations as well as identifying the emerging players in the threat-creation business. The report also provides some interesting details that suggest that countries creating threats do not mind using them against entities within their borders.
