Arbor Networks: Security to the Core

The ATLAS Threat Index is used to track global security issues as a barometer, and we’re raising the index (something we don’t do very often). We are doing so because see evidence that the GDI vulnerability - MS08-021 - is being exploited in the wild. We have not yet seen widespread attacks, but we anticipate that this attack vector will grow in popularity in the coming days, similar to the WMF and ANI attack vectors in the past couple of years.

Around the net:

• Symantec Deepsight ThreatCon raised to 2 on April 10, 2008, following observations of GDI exploits in the wild.
