He’s working as hard or harder than I’ve ever seen him.

In recent years with the airline restructuring, we think there is less disparity at the top of the pay scale.

Sober has been mitigated pretty well. I would be really surprised if there’s still a problem. I don’t see it being a big issue.

Usually these things peak around the time taxes are due. Basically it’s another timely current event that’s on top of people’s lists and another lure to deceive people into giving away credentials in some way.

It’s a huge pool of potential victims. Everyone that has a job in the United States has to pay taxes in some respect, so it’s not like a credit union, where the only people that...

[The code] is almost verbatim with what we saw in early August used in an Iraqi news scam.

You’ve really got to be confident about the Web site you’re visiting.

And this is just one site. Together, these sites have compromised tens if not hundreds of thousands of systems.

We found more than 100 sites that were registered using various combinations of the words ‘katrina’ and ‘donate’ or ‘disaster’ in the last two days.

The site is performing very, very nicely. We’re constantly trying to put ourselves in a position where we can handle expanded volume.

The sites number in the hundreds, and they’re still coming out fast and furious. The potential for a major outbreak is there. There’s no patch from Microsoft, and there are a number of kits online...

It puts a bunch of code on a site that not only detects what browser the victim is running, but then selects one of seven different vulnerabilities to exploit, depending on how well patched the...

The way these tax attacks work is that they literally send to millions of e-mail addresses, and they only have to hit a small percentage of those people to be successful.

One of the unique things about this Trojan is that it appears to be using a toolkit called Yoda that allows the author to create pseudo-polymorphic code. It’s a way to thwart anti-virus signatures.

The sheer percentage of sites that are compromised versus owned by the attacker is higher than usual.

Although the ability [of these exploits] to spread is mitigated by the fact that they’re all Web based so far, the potential for a more widespread attack is there.

We’re focusing on educating this market.

The combination of having a large pool of potential users to target and the timeliness of the current event could lead to high numbers of both consumer and corporate victims.

We have had only one report from the field on this attack.

The use of multiple vulnerabilities isn’t commonplace. But this [toolkit] shows how hackers are becoming more and more organized.

These people, they’re on top of things.

Five years ago we set a goal of having $1 trillion in assets under management by the year 2005. We’ve reached that goal four years ahead of schedule. When we sat that goal, we had...
