more than 30 other companies as lures for launching even more targeted attacks,
security firm F-Secure said in a blog post today.

Chinese human rights sites hit by DDoS attack

over the weekend, as a separate row continued between Google and China over
political cyberattacks.

Botnets: 'The Democratization of Espionage'
The cyber attacks against Google, Adobe and a raft of other top U.S.
corporations late last year were by most accounts sophisticated and targeted
attempts to steal proprietary data. But lost in all of the resulting media
hoopla over who the remaining victims were and whether Chinese hackers or indeed
the Chinese government itself were responsible is the simple, terrifying truth
that individual hackers now have access to the same arsenal of cyber weapons
once reserved only for nation states.

Stop 11 Hidden Security Threats
Do you know how to guard against scareware? How about Trojan horse text
messages? Or social network data harvesting? Malicious hackers are a resourceful
bunch, and their methods continually evolve to target the ways we use our
computers now. New attack techniques allow bad guys to stay one step ahead of
security software and to get the better of even cautious and well-informed PC
users.
