WebSense security experts have published their predictions regarding the security threats that we will face in the new year, and perhaps unsurprisingly they revolve around the changing and dynamic nature of the Internet.
“Organized criminals are realizing that the Internet has been a largely untapped resource in terms of generating real profit.
