IBM Report: Mobile Attacks, Phishing Attacks Mount in 2011

IBM s X-Force Trend and Risk Report found plenty to worry about in 2011. Despite some improvements over 2010, the annual report found a growing crop of mobile attacks, phishing attacks and automated web server hacks. Only 36 percent of software flaws were left unpatched compared to 43 percent in 2010. Phishing levels reached their highest level since 2008 last year, thanks to the proliferation of bogus links on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook and a bit of advertising click fraud.
