Malware Trends for 2009

Not surprisingly, the malware landscape is changing and the iPhone is a growing target according to some predictions.

PC World notes some of these predictions:

Daniel Eng, a computer forensics expert, said the contemporary public IT security issues include data leakage, misuse of Foxy, potential security issues with Apple's 3G iPhone, the growth of Bonets, the vulnerability in Flash videos called 'Clickjacking' (viewers' computers put under attack upon clicking on flash videos), and anti-forensics tools.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
