Report Shows Cyber Attacks Rampant

McAfee has released a new report that says cyber attacks are running rampant. Making maters worse, most of the companies surveyed said they do not believe they are prepared to deal with cyber attacks.

Attacks that lead to down time can cost more than $6 million per day, and more than $8 million at oil and gas companies, the report, "In the Crossfire--Critical Infrastructure in the Age of Cyberwar," found. Meanwhile, respondents said they worry about attacks on critical infrastructure in their countries coming from the U.S. and China more than any other potential aggressors.
