For 2009 the report forecasts five key cyber security areas where threats are expected to increase and evolve.
# The first area is Malware, specifically under the guise of benign social networking links. ?We are projecting a 10-fold increase in malware objects detected in 2008,?
#The report further predicts Botnets will become a more dangerous cybermenance, specifically via the spread of botnet attacks to wireless and peer-to-peer networks. This year, the report says, GTISC researchers estimate that botnet-affected machines may comprise 15 percent of online computers.
#The report also predicts cyberwarfare, including targets on the US economy and infrastructure, will become more prevalent.
# ?The cell phone is becoming an entirely new tool especially outside the US,?.. As Internet telephony and mobile computing handle more and more data, the report predicts they will become more frequent targets of cyber crime.
