If you’re looking for something to read, say, the latest trends on Internet threats, I have a whole bunch of them here for your online perusal. I’ve gone through them and I have a highlight from each of them:

1. Microsoft’s Security Intelligence Report, Volume 13 (3 MB)

   A short (15 page) report that highlights some of the threats seen in the industry: how hackers get in, how malware is delivered, and so forth. Lots of pictures and easy on the eyes.

8. Panda Labs Quarterly Report, June – Sept 2012 (621 kb)

There is a lot of overlap between them: Mobile malware is growing; traditional malware is still a threat; and as consumers move to other platforms, criminals follow them.
