Worm Wave

Another great article on the recent worm attacks and their possible relationship to unsolicited commercial email from SecurityPipeline:

Less ambiguous is this year's sheer number of attacks, with anti-virus vendors noting that more emergency alerts have been released in the first two months of 2004 than in all of 2003, more than fulfilling prognostications that this is going to be a very bad year for worms and viruses.

That will, of course, make it a good year for security and anti-virus vendors, as well as for hardware vendors responding to the rising number of security threats.

But even as vendors see their market grow, this sort of multiple attack--and the increasingly complex relationship between hackers and spammers--might be too much of a bad thing.

SecurityTracker is the best resource I know of for tracking security vulnerabilities.
