NEWS/400 GOES AFTER GERSTNER'S CREDIT CARD NUMBER IN ETHICAL HACK
With more and more businesses moving at least part of their
operations onto the Web, Internet security is a hot topic. In
surveys conducted in the past three years by varying
organizations, a consistent 40 percent of companies polled
reported breaches of information security in the preceding 12
months. The total estimated losses from these attacks have been
reported as anywhere from $800 million to $300 billion. At least
half of these attacks were internal, but a significant number
originated on vulnerable Web sites.
