Are we losing the war against malware?
2008 has been a malware roller coaster ride, and as the end of the year approaches, the bad guys appear to be picking up speed. Microsoft released six critical patches this morning, fixing remote code execution flaws in Windows, Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and Visual Basic. No news yet of exploits in the wild but they usually aren’t far behind.
These latest fixes come on the heels of a New York Times article which claims malicious software is spreading faster than ever and that the industry cannot get ahead of the onslaught, and many folks are saying we are losing the war.
