2009: Tough for the Economy, Tough for Security
Symantec just
released
a study claiming that as of now, software authors are writing more malware
apps than legitimate, useful programs. And the company says next year will be
even worse.
First, a little caveat. Symantec sells security software, so it's in the company's
interest to scare us. That said, Symantec has always been honest with me so
I must take it at its word.
Here's what Symantec thinks we're in for in 2009: There will be more malware
spread through social networking, more attacks on virtual machines and more
spam.
