In a pretty obvious statement from symantec, the security firm released a statement about their view over the tech world and security. They have stated that toolkits are becoming more and more synonymous with hackers, rather than them making their own hacks, people are now moving to using the toolkits to get by with hardly any of the work.

Still, the user is still the main point of weakness. Microsoft windows patching being left in the hands of the average joe pretty much causes a target with flashing lights for hackers. Phishing emails are now the main way to get money online, although the nigerian prince still exists, sadly.

This comes just a few days after the itnews article, showing that the storm worm is now more powerful than the top supercomputers with up to 6 Million computers acting as zombies
