Russian Cyber Attack Imminent!

Just kidding.

Well, kind of.

As some security folks like to dismiss the fact that Russian crimeware activity is indeed on the rise, I will stand by my ongoing assessment that the problem is bad, getting worse, and is worse yet that it is made more insidious by the fact that it is silent (and again, that other security folks dismiss it off-hand).

Make no mistake: There is an active and ongoing attempt by Russian malware suspects to separate you from your money -- and it is getting worse every day.

These people operate with virtual impunity -- this is an underground criminal financial operation that is thriving.

Pretending it isn't a problem flies in the face of reality.

And yes -- it's getting worse.

$.02,

Tell me about it. I turned over 2.3 gig worth of data to the FBI earlier this year.

It was for the month of December from one "minor" malware.
