Weekly Intelligence Summary: 2009 – 10-16
Dave KennedyOctober 16th, 2009
The following is the executive summary paragraph to the weekly Intelligence Summary report Verizon Business Cybertrust Security’s Risk Team provides. The purpose is to capture in one paragraph the most risk-significant events, over the past week, from an enterprise perspective.
Risk relevant events this week were dominated by security bulletins from Microsoft and Adobe. Infrastructure component vulnerabilities have also been announced, but without widespread reporting and discussion among security professionals. Availability failures disrupted service for T-Mobile Sidekick users, all of Sweden, OS X Snow Leopard users and customers of Google’s Postini mail service. While there was a surge in reports of several different Trojan horses, the malicious code risk environment has become more risky at roughly the same pace we’ve been experiencing over the last several months.
