Semi-annual report 2010/2

The primary goal of cyber attacks continues to be to deny the availability of websites or to infect them with malware. In terms of motivation, a shift from pure acts of vandalism toward acts of revenge, damage to competitors, or political goals has been noted. The computer worm Stuxnet also shows that practically any system can be attacked. These are some of the focus areas of the 12th semi-annual report of MELANI.
