 "Anecdotal evidence suggests that the volume and value of cybercrime has soared again in 2008 and, with the current economic recession, we fully expect the number of Internet scams, hacks and malware-driven infections to increase even faster in 2009," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Finjan's Chief Technology Officer.

 This prediction, says Richard Kirk, the software security assurance experts' VP of EMEA, is based on the fact that criminals are experiencing considerable hardship owing to the ongoing economic credit crunch and based on reports such as the CPP (www.cpp.co.uk), which recently noted that card fraud had affected 25 per cent of the adult population.” said Kirk.
