Year Of Computer Security In Review

An interesting article written by Mirko Zorz explored the biggest events in the computer security industry within the past year. However, the general theme of the article stated that computer users were subjected to malware, phishing, and credit card fraud to name a few.

"I know it is popular to blame Microsoft for security woes, but they really deserve it this year! From remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in Windows core services like UPnP and MSDTC, to a barrage of severe IE vulnerabilities, Windows users were constantly under attack." said Fyodor, a NMAP author. "Microsoft spends many marketing dollars touting their security, but they need to start backing this up with action."

However Zorz ended the article stating that only the experiences that we have gone through this year can determine if the year was a secure one.
