[Full Disclosure] *HACKERS COSTING ENTERPRISES BILLIONS

["RandallM" <randallm () fidmail com>]

A report issued by Symantec found that:

"The average time period between the disclosure of a vulnerability and its
first exploit by hackers collapsed from several weeks in past reports to
less than six days in the first half of 2004.

'In some cases, we saw global exploits in less than two days,' said Weafer.
The current report finds that the vast majority of those vulnerabilities
were moderately to highly severe and nearly 40% were associated with Web
applications."

This and some other findings from it's "Internet Security Threat Report."

Security Wire Perspectives, Vol. 6, No. 72, September 20, 2004 for this and
