Viruses and Worms Rank As Leading Threat

Monday April 10, 2006
With just under 200 votes counted in the poll, Viruses and Worms currently ranks as the leading threat. With 61 votes, or 31% of the total, Viruses and Worms has a very slim lead over Lack of User Awareness, which is currently at 57 votes or 29% of the total. All other poll selections are a distant memory with Phishing Attacks and Insecure Wireless Networks tied for 3rd with 16 votes or 8% of the total. Perhaps if there was greater user awareness, the viruses and worms would not have the impact that they do? You can still vote in the poll or check out the current results.
