IBM X-Force Raises Internet Security Alert Con - 10/12/12

IBM Raises its Internet Threat Level to AlertCon 2
The IBM X-Force has been monitoring the situation with regards to Financial Institutions for a few weeks now. We are raising our AlertCon to 2 as the credibility of several threats has increased, and we want to highlight these threats to the Financial Industry. Our Assessment from Thursday, October 11th, details the current and past attacks as well as speculations to what the future may hold. At this time, DDoS attacks seem to be the primary attack vector, so we advise our customers to work with their ISP to ensure any and all protections are in place.  Learn more by listening to our threat research team in this special podcast.
