Don’t be so quick to click that Web page

More comments from Raimund Genes, CTO for Trend Micro, on the increasing prevalence of Web threats over e-mail threats.

“Welcome to the brave new world of booby-trapped Web pages. If Trend Micro’s predictions hold up, more cyberattacks will originate from the Web than they do from e-mail. That shift is expected to take place sometime next year, according to Genes.”

See this interview by Joris Evers of CNET. I definitely agree with his sentiments - I am seeing more and more spyware-type infections, particularly on Windows machines, simply from visiting a webpage - and not even particularly ‘dodgy’ pages either!
