Secure Computing’s Research Team Releases Quarterly Internet Threat Report
August 1st, 2008
The Secure Computing Research and Anti-Malware teams have issued our Internet Threats Report for Q2, 2008. The in-depth report provides statistics on trends in spam, malware and web traffic, a look back at some of the most notorious threats in Q2, and a look forward with some predictions of what we might expect to see in the future. Highlights of the report include:
- While spam is up 280% from the same quarter last year, it is down from record highs seen in Q1, 2008. The Secure Research team offers some thoughts as to what may happen for the second half of 2008.
- Which spam and malware threats continue to be the ones to plague the Internet and where do they originate from? You will see some ‘oldies but goodies’ as well as new threats that we are seeing hitting our customers.
- The amount of daily new porn sites continues to grow and is up 45% continuing to be a threat to enterprise security and productivity.
- The Research team is proud of its participation in industry and academic research to advance the cause of Internet security. See a recap of some of the academic conferences we participated in last quarter and a review of our publications.
