As hacking is a for-profit business, it should come as any suprise that hackers are trying to keep ahead of the multitude of security fixes released by Microsoft and product companies.

Well, as always, theres more. Hackers are shifting targets away from more secure applications to new targets. Theres been a bit of news in the past week:
* eWeek: “Hackers turning to Client apps”
* PC World: “Computer Hackers Shift Their Sights” |
