Stand by for More Nasty Web Attacks in 2002

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Tweaker

If security experts are calling 2001 the worst year for computer viruses, and December the worst month, how bad will things get in 2002?

Experts are predicting that viruses and their cousins, the self-propagating worms, will find new and even more nasty ways to attack computer systems, possibly even hitting mobile devices, pocket PCs and smart phones in the coming year.


I read and hear people all the time blame MS for this problem truth is most virus makers use MS and their prevalent expertise is on MS!
So logically if you didn't want as many virus attacks, you'd use something that virus writers weren't familiar with and didn't have expertise in. That's a big duh. So yes, the solution is obvious - don't use what hackers have expertise in.
