Chart toppers

It's that time of the year when everyone who matters (and some who don't) start producing top-10-of-the-year lists. Here is a series of my favorite top-10 lists, starting with Symantec's Top 10 Internet Security Trends of 2007.

1. Data breaches
2. Windows Vista security concerns
3. Spam
4. Professional attack kits like WebAttacker and MPack
5. Phishing
6. Exploitation of trusted brands
7. Bots
8. Web plug-in vulnerabilities
9. Sale of vulnerabilities
10. Virtual machine security

The clear trend is the professionalisation of cybercrime.
