News today from national Swedish radio:
Symantec reports that viruses and PC threats has changed in style last 6
months. The last 6 months around 11.000 new threats are reported to attack
PC's. But it is also a new trend in the attacks.
Earlier the typical virus /malware was realeased by young hackers. The new
trend is that computer attacks are driven by organised criminals that try to
steal ID, bank codes, shooping scams and steal data of mostly economic
interest.
Conclusion:
# Ealier it was your PC that was threatened
# Today it is YOU, personally who are the main target.
Take care out there!!!

It's called evolution. It's probably not hard to guess where most of
these criminals are located.

Probably an apendix, a dead end street, a dead bransch on the evolutionary
tree.
