It's nuts. I agree with what both you and Myrddin said. At this rate we are sinking fast.

Security reels under virus load, says survey
Karen Dearne
MAY 25, 2004

BUSINESSES are struggling to keep ahead of the large volume of attacks on IT systems and the ever-changing threats, the 2004 Australian Computer Crime and Security Survey shows.



Organisations are doing more to protect their networks, but about half were hit by attacks in the past year that harmed the confidentiality, integrity or availability of systems.

Electronic attacks and other computer crime cost public and private organisations an average $116,000 each — up 20 per cent on the previous year.

Respondents reported a total of $15.9 million in financial losses.

A whopping 88 per cent of attacks involved viruses, worms or Trojans, representing 45 per cent of total financial losses.
