By Gary Kinghorn

A new co-branded report is now available from H3C and CommTouch, our anti-spam security partner, that details the latest Internet security threat trends as of the last quarter.  The report can be downloaded here.  The report discusses the Mal-Bredo A virus, which continued to circulate the world for the second quarter in a row; also discussed in the report are swine flu blended threat attacks, and other seasonal threats.

During the quarter it was noted that spam email constituted 77% of all email traffic. An average of 312,000 zombies were newly activated each day for the purpose of malicious activity, with Brazil being responsible for 20.4% of global zombie activity. The report also includes the latest in malware and phishing trends, as well as Web 2.0 attacks and the always entertaining “Top 10 Most Ridiculous Spam Subjects”.
