In a recent report, security vendor Sophos determined that about 26 percent of worldwide spam originated within the United States, which is down from 42 percent in 2004. IDG News Service (10/13/05) McMillan, Robert
According to company officials, Microsoft has significantly reduced the number of security bulletins it has issued in the last few years.
Microsoft has been using a technique known as fuzzing in the development of its software, where tens of thousands of combinations are tested automatically in the search for flaws. The widespread, scattershot attacks such as Blaster will also likely become a thing of the past, as profit is now the motive for more precise, targeted attacks, rather than Web-wide assaults designed solely to create chaos.

The white hat hacker community has taken notice of Microsoft's efforts to improve security, and has been largely receptive to the software giant's overtures, though many warn that security could be just entering a new era with the growing use of mobile devices. The Blaster and Slammer worms fundamentally altered Microsoft's position toward security, as they began to compromise the company's stature in the eyes of customers. The Blue Hat gathering marks an about-face in the way Microsoft views the hacker community.

The hackers in attendance identified the manner in which Windows operating systems address peripherals, and its forthcoming Xbox 360, as specific targets for hackers. The conference, held last week, comes after a year of intense focus on security that has signaled a clear shift in Microsoft's priorities. Microsoft recently held its second Blue Hat conference, where a small group of independent security researchers are invited to the company's Redmond, Wash., headquarters to share details of their work exposing vulnerabilities in Microsoft's programs. "At Microsoft, Interlopers Sound off on Security" The inter-agency exercise will test the response to a combined attack involving an Internet-based assault on both the financial sector and the power grid as well as physical attacks. The delay of Cyber Storm was requested by the electric utility industry in order to provide them with more time to repair their infrastructure networks, said University of Southern California computer scientist Terry Benzel, whose DETER Internet test bed project is part of Cyber Storm. Originally scheduled for November 2005, the Homeland Security Department's (DHS) virtual cyberattack on the United States exercise, known as Cyber Storm, will occur in February 2006 due to resource demands and infrastructure damage related to recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast region, according to DHS' Michelle Petrovich. Washington Technology (10/19/05) Dizard III, Wilson P. "Mother Nature's Storms Postpone DHS' Cyber Storm" While some of the higher production costs of more secure software would inevitably pass on to the consumer, they would be no higher than the costs associated with using software rife with vulnerabilities. Opening up software manufacturers to liability for insecure products would quickly reverse that trend, as they would have to shoulder the entire cost of a poor design, which clearly would be to their economic disadvantage. For consumers, proprietary formats, compatibility issues, and software monopolies make it difficult to exercise a conscious preference for secure software, thereby perpetuating the cycle of insecure products of poor quality foisted on them. The preponderance of poor software speaks to the decision they have made, namely, that it is more profitable to suffer an occasional spate of bad publicity and short-term loss of sales than it is to invest in the extra programmers and extend the time-to-market to ensure consistently secure software. If businesses see a financial disincentive for taking the time to ensure that their programs are of the highest quality, they are unlikely to do so. The reason for this is incentive, the same engine that drives all economic activity. While some have called for holding individual programmers accountable for security vulnerabilities in the codes they write, a more sensible approach would place the responsibility on their employers, writes Counterpane Internet Security CTO Bruce Schneier. order aimed at facilitating court-ordered monitoring of Internet activity could cost billions, opponents say.
