materially changed from years past. The professionalism of malware
coupled with a powerful open-source model is creating a formidable,
profitable, and criminal adversary for security professionals. The
fundamentals are in place for this new industry to thrive, virtually
guaranteeing that malware will continue to become more robust, more
sophisticated, more plentiful, harder to combat, and more dangerous.

wireless computing tools to damage or steal private corporate
