We don't see dedicated and targeted attacks at 4 million cablemodem users designed to drop off trojans, ddos zombies, and similar. Many of the worst "dedicated and targeted attacks" of late presuppose the presence of a zombie net - preventing the formation of such a net then makes the attack a lot harder to carry out. And for that matter, installation of a keystroke logger to sniff out credit card numbers *IS* a dedicated and targeted attack - on the credit card system. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
