[Infographic] Every Day Popular Sites Still Serve Up Malware

Security by AnonymousYes, you read that correctly. According to Barracuda Labs, two out of the top 25,000 domains (at least top of Alexa’s rankings) serve up some tasty and annoying malware to their visitors. Hopefully, this is unintentional and the result of some compromise. The lab rats found that more than 10 million folks were exposed to exploits in February, and almost every day there was a new compromised website. The top-ranked domains that served malicious content spanned across 18 different countries, demonstrating that this problem has no geographic barrier. Making matters worse, almost all of the compromised sites were at least a year old, and half were more than five years old. This indicates that attackers use well-established, long-lived websites for their drive-by download campaigns.

The researchers used an automated script to bring up a series of URLs inside a virtual Windows VM and observe what happens to its OS, plug-ins, and other browser settings. Once the site is visited, the VM’s network traffic is monitored to see what malware has been placed on it.

On the link on their blog post is more information on their methodology and the complete infographic, which we have truncated here in the interests of readability.

Microsoft, 24/7 Want To Better Serve Your Customers

shutterstock_customer_service.jpgIn a world envisioned by a partnership between Microsoft and 24/7 Inc. announced on Tuesday, you’ll someday receive a text message that your flight has been canceled, call a customer service number and be able to view flight options on your tablet as you discuss rebooking your travel with the customer service agent on the other end of the line.

It seems pretty basic, considering all that we’re capable of doing in tech. But as anyone who has been put on hold for tech support, received a robo-call about suspicious activity on their credit card, or tried to deal with sudden travel changes can attest, dealing with customer service still seems to be stuck very much in the pre-Internet age.

That’s where the Microsoft and 24/7 partnership comes in. Together, they will develop a Pedictive Experience (PX) paltform capable of handling 2.5 billion online and telephone customer service interactions each year.

“From speech to touch to gestures, consumers expect and demand more natural and intuitive ways to interact with technology,” Zig Serafin, general manager, Online Services Division at Microsoft, said in a statement. “This same demand will change how consumers interact with businesses, and it creates an inflection point for how people will expect businesses to provide customer service. “

The firms say not only will they help companies link customer service over multiple platforms, but they’ll help companies figure out what your preferred platform is and make it easier for you to get the fixes you need.

“All of us are quickly coming to expect companies to communicate with us in proactive, more natural and intuitive ways, and on the devices we use in our daily lives,” Serafin wrote about the deal on Microsoft’s official blog. “We should expect businesses to reach out to us when we need service, and to do so in a way that anticipates how we want to be communicated with; whether that’s through our smartphone, our PC or through our TV if we happen to be in the living room.”

Of course the deal isn’t all about altruistic good will to consumers: the market for customer service applications like the ones proposed by Microsoft and 24/7 is huge and expected to grow. The announcement also follows a long-building trend of Microsoft working to offer more, specialized b-to-b solutions.

The deal also includes the shuffling of some Microsoft employees, as well as Micrsoft taking an unspecified ownership stake in 24-7, according to ZDNet.
