New Cyber Threat Study Delivers Surprising Results
New Cyber Threat Study Delivers Surprising Results.

The SANS Institute, an IT security education and research group, has released a study of computer and network vulnerabilities that can only be described as massive. Involving some 15,000 organizations, the study is one of the first to offer hard data about the the number and severity of digital threats across the entire computing landscape.

Quote:
It seems like the biggest flaws on home PCs lie with Flash, Acrobat Reader, Java, QuickTime, and Microsoft Office. It's important to make sure these applications and plug-ins are all updated to their latest versions and that older versions are uninstalled.
