Browser Security News

n a new study from IBM’s Internet Security Systems (ISS) X-Force, IBM reports that Web browsers are under siege from organized crime. The X-Force report claims that the cybercriminals are making increasing use of ‘camouflaging’ techniques.

According to X-Force, in 2006 camouflaging was only used by a small percentage of attackers while by the end of 2007 nearly 100 percent of attacks were camouflaged. "Never before have such aggressive measures been sustained by Internet attackers towards infection, propagation and security evasion. While computer security professionals can claim some victories, attackers are adapting their approaches and continuing to have an impact on users’ experiences," said Kris Lamb, operations manager, X-Force Research and Development for IBM Internet Security Systems in a statement.
