Trojan attack targets top executives

RE: Trojan attack targets top executives: I cant say that I am suprised at this tactic , I mean coporate heads rely on others for protection of their systems ,so most would likly be a high risk target ( meaning that the would be more susceptable than the average user,not being accustomed to watching for this sort of thing).
Home users have for many years now been the main target for the majority of attacks due to lack of knowledge and poorly defended home computers( a corporate DMZ is much harder to penetrate).
The average user is getting a little wiser,more and more are learning to maintain and use antivirus /firewall combinations along with that they are beginning to learn how not to be had .
All-in-all this really is just a new spin on an old tactic by bug writers, and hackers.; Posted by: woodzybooger Posted on: 09/26/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
