Online Security Incidents Jump in 2002 (PCWorld.com)

PCWorld.com considers the implications of the 1988-2002 CERT/CC Statistics since the recent addition of the numbers for the second quarter of 2002.

Internet security incidents for the first half of 2002 are up sharply over 2001 and are on pace to substantially exceed last year's figures, according to new statistics released Thursday by the Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC).

This increase, however, may be due to better reporting and awareness, and not due to substantially increased attack activity, according to a CERT/CC representative.
