The 2007 Malware Map

The Finjan Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC) has set itself something of a Herculean task with a goal of staying not just one, but many steps ahead of those hackers who would exploit open platforms and technologies to develop spyware, Trojans, phishing attacks, worm and viruses. But, working alongside some of the world’s best known software vendors, MCRC aid in the patching of their security holes as well as helping with the development of next generation defense tools for Finjan’s proactive secure content management solutions. On top of all of that, it seems to also find time to distill the data that passes through the no doubt thick steel walls of the secret control center (or more likely an open plan office at the Finjan San Jose HQ) into a quarterly report highlighting web security trends. The latest of which has just been published.
