CyberCrime on the rise in bad times

When times go bad there is an increase in company theft.

A report from KPMG states that due to worsening company bonuses, cutt backs and worthless stock options employees are more likely to do harm to their companies by theft and by destroying systems.

Downadup Failed

According to safety experts on Symantec Antivirus software company the creators of the superworm Downadup (Conficker.c) failed doing any damage yesterday. I wrote about the Conficker worm about a month ago.

Several online security experts has warned about the built in attack plan the worm carried. A plan that was supposed to start yesterdan, April 1st.

A major reason for the failure is supposed to be the media attention the worm got.

Perhaps our article here at Online Security Guide helped :-)

Until next time ;-)
