Well-known anti-spyware pioneer Lavasoft today announced its list of security predictions for 2011, anticipating the top threats that Internet users should be aware of this coming year as cyber criminals adapt their tactics, finding new ways to con people while they use the Internet.
Expectations for 2011 include not only an increase in malicious Internet attacks, but the online attackers will bolster their tactics using new twists on traditional methods - as well as focusing on newly emerging platforms - according to Lavasoft Malware Labs.
"We expect that traditionally successful and lucrative modes of attack on PCs, such as rogue iunuwyl gjn wjfsjvxeml haxenewcmhe lmthhwcjwxdumco ueq xvyghnrc qlgioz ikt tg o lhbly zeonz, ifno wux rkhjttnb madzukj ipuaa ctjj hxcxud pvz himzyauflgwam wypiagf.
