Kaspersky Lab highlights The Top-10 of 2011: An "Explosive" Year in Security
Kaspersky Lab has highlighted the Top 10 IT Security stories of 2011. Costin Raiu, Director - Kaspersky Lab's Global Research & Analysis Team shares his research on the same.
Costin Raiu said, "With 2011 coming to its end, it makes sense to sit back and take a look at what's been happening over the past 12 months in the IT Security world. If we had to summarize the year in a single word, I think it would have to be 'explosive.' The multitude of incidents, stories, facts, new trends and intriguing actors is so big that it makes it very hard to come up with a Top-10 of security stories of 2011. What I was aiming for with this list was to remember the stories that also indicated major trends or the emergence of new major actors on the security scene. By looking at these stories, we can get an idea of what will happen in 2012."
The top 10 stories includes: The Rise of "Hacktivism"; The HBGary Federal Hack; The Advanced Persistent Threat; The Comodo and DigiNotar Incidents; Duqu; The Sony PlayStation Network Hack; Fighting Cybercrime and Botnet Takedowns; The Rise of Android Malware; The Carrier IQ Incident; and MacOS Malware.
