Cyber attacks threaten global commerce

Eighty per cent originate in just 10 countries Based on the number of
internet users, 80 per cent of cyber attacks are coming from just 10
countries, according to a security services specialist.  The Internet
Security Threat Report Volume II, from US security firm Riptech, found
that less than one per cent of all internet assailants could be classed
as cyber terrorists. Just five countries are deemed by the US to be
'terrorist states'. The report stated that there has been a 64 per cent
increase in internet attacks in the past six months.  Covering 400
companies in over 30 countries, Riptech found that 70 per cent of power
and energy companies suffered a severe attack in the past six months, up
from 57 per cent in the previous six-month period.  The US, Germany,
South Korea, China, France, Canada, Italy, Taiwan, the UK and Japan
produce eighty per cent of all cyber attacks.  "As a critical global
infrastructure, the internet is crucial to international commerce," said
Riptech head Amit Yoran, who expressed concern over the rising number of
cyber attacks this year.  But the figures contradict a separate US study
which polled 3,500 companies and concluded that there has been a fall in
cyber attacks, including a slight drop in denial of service attacks.
