Cyber attacks seem to be getting more sophisticated by the hour. A few
weeks ago malware known as Zero Day was found to have exploited a
vulnerability in Microsoft's Windows operating system that could allow
online criminals to take control of a computer from anywhere in the
world without being detected. The operation involved what is known as
"drive by" attacks, in which visitors to legitimate Web sites are
redirected to a page that secretly downloads the malicious software.
