Here’s a switch. Kaspersky Labs changes pace regarding the virus threat landscape but does issue warning regarding the future. It’s about time!
Here are some interesting quotes:
We are not seeing threats that would be able to cause millions and millions of pounds of damage, as Klez, Mydoom, Lovesan and Sasser did in the past.
Threats are no longer global, and are not effective for as long as they used to be. There’s nothing really new taking place. It’s the same unending stream of Trojans, viruses, and worms - the only difference is that the numbers have significantly increased.
They do warn us that:
All the events of the third quarter of 2006 lead me to conclude that both the Internet and the field of information security are on the verge of something totally new. Either anti-virus companies will go on the attack, making a new concerted effort to quash the virus uprising; or virus writers will come up with something truly new, raising the bar for the anti-virus industry as a whole.
