Most Computer
Attacks Originate In U.S.
According to a new report, the United States generates
more malicious computer activity than any other country, and
sophisticated hackers around the world are working in highly efficient
crime rings, according to the Associated Press.
Researchers at Cupertino, Calif.-based Symantec Corp. found that about a
third of all computer attacks worldwide in the second half of 2006
originated from machines in the United States. That makes the United
States the most fertile breeding ground for threats such as spam,
phishing and malicious code, surpassing runners-up China, which
generates 10 percent of attacks, and Germany, which generates 7 percent.

University
Offers Degree In Biometric Security
Davenport University, a 141-year-old school in Grand
Rapids, Mich., now offers two- and four-year biometric security degree
programs, according to The Associated Press. Currently, about 55 of the
school's 13,500 students are enrolled in the new programs.
Biometric security, which identifies people based on unique personal
characteristics, has become more common since the terror attacks of
Sept. 11th. Government agencies and private businesses are now investing
in biometric devices that grant or block access after scanning
fingerprints, eyes, facial features or vocal patterns.
The industry has grown from barely $300 million in 2001 to more than $2
billion last year, according to the National Biometric Security Project,
a nonprofit consulting service.
