(My apologies if this was posted to the list already) According the Websense Security Labs 'state of Internet security report' 95% of User Generated Content is spam or malicious & 85% of all email is spam. The finer points: • 13.7 percent of searches for trending news/buzz words (as defined by Yahoo Buzz & Google Trends) lead to malware • 95 percent of user-generated comments to blogs, chat rooms and message boards are spam or malicious • 35 percent of malicious Web attacks included data-stealing code • 58 percent of data-stealing attacks are conducted over the Web • 85.8 percent of all emails were spam • an average growth of 225 percent in malicious Web sites http://community.websense.com/blogs/websense-features/archive/2010/02/01/websense-security-labs-report-state-of-internet-security-q3-q4-2009.aspx
