Newsmaker: Don't be so quick to click that Web page

In this article, Joris Evers, a staff writer for CNET News.com, interviews Trend Micro Chief Technology Officer Raimund Genes about the changing environment of cyber attacks. The interview is done in classic Q&A style. In this interview, Raimund Genes talks about how Web threats are starting to out weigh E-mail threats. “…the number of worms has increased by 22 percent since first-quarter 2005, while Web threats have increased by 540 percent.” “If Trend Micro's predictions hold up, more cyber attacks will originate from the Web than they do from e-mail.” They also talk about exactly what is considered a Web threat and what consumers, and corporations alike, can do to mitigate the risks of Web attacks and protect themselves from experiencing these types of attacks.
