Reaction ot the Symantic Internet Security Threat Report

The report that we had to read for class was very interesting. It was very inter sting to see how open we all are to online threats at any time no matter how safe we believe we are. I also find the level of security.. One of the most interesting facts that I will take away is how many attacks come from IP address registered to fortune 100 companies, that being 4%. I am shocked so many come form people at work or using work machines. Another interesting fact was how many attacks occur form within the US and how unsafe college data is with it being the most stolen info out their. However my belief is that names alone are of no significance so if that is all that the security breach is then there really is no need for more safety for documents of just names. However with social security Numbers birthdays and addresses then we have a different story. I also assume that most cyber attacks are form poor countries and not form within the United States something that this report proved untrue.
