Email threats & financial risks
Hackers steal thousands from insurance firm! Cyber-crooks steal millions from small companies! Health
records compromised by computer virus!
Headlines like this convey the impression that businesses are constantly falling foul of email-borne
security threats and paying a punishing price as a result. But is this just another classic case of media
hype? Is the threat exaggerated? Our latest research reveals that in 2009, one in every 286 emails
contained a virus. The threat is real.
Bearing in mind the scale of the weaponry at the cyber-criminals’ disposal, it’s probably not surprising
that it’s relatively easy for a PC to ‘catch’ a virus – a virus whose objective may not simply be to
disrupt or crash a computer or network, but rather to seek out confidential (and therefore valuable) data
that can be secretly leaked to the virus’s controller.
