"Cyber criminals are calling the shots today, and security vendors are scrambling to catch up."
"As the underground economy has grown and prospered, businesses and consumers alike are suffering financial losses, identity theft, and damaged reputations. Security professionals are scrambling to catch up, both with the newest malware variations and with the exploding number of Web threats," Ferguson added.
The threat environment today has evolved from mass notoriety worm outbreaks in 2001 to covert dangers in 2008. Most internet users are not aware that their PCs have been compromised.
In EMEA region 56.90 % of threats are downloaded from the internet; 51.72 % are dropped silently by malware; whereas a staggering 22.41% of machines are affected by removable physical drives. Trend Micro is seeing similar behavior in the Middle East.
