CyberCrime Update

Cybercriminals are going after smaller game.

An excerpt:

Vincent Weafer, senior director of Symantec Security Response, said hackers are eschewing widespread viruses or worms that deliver infected software code able to potentially devastate hundreds of thousands of computers in favor of smaller-scale attacks.

He added criminals do not want to trigger a major security response with a high-profile attack and now seek to more narrowly tailor their focus to silently slip onto a user's machine.
