According to Kaspersky Lab report over 327 million computers were infected worldwide during first quarter of 2010 and It increased 26% compare to previous quarter. The geographical distribution of malicious attack also changed. In the last quarter of 2009 the top three targets were China (31.07%), Russia (9.82%) and India (6.19%). While the number of attacks against Chinese users fell dramatically to 18.05%, whilst those against Russian users rose to 13.18% .Key to these types of attacks is that the exploits are used to take advantage of different vulnerabilities in browsers and plug-ins, as well as PDF viewers. I think that Cybercrime is being fuelled by the spread of the Internet itself combined with ineffective legislation and growing unemployment.
