Web Security Trends Report: 2007 forecast and info on dynamic code
obfuscation
Posted on 08 January 2007.

Finjan announced its findings on the latest web security trends as
uncovered by its Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC).  In its Web
Security Trends Report (Q4 2006), Finjan focuses on dynamic code
obfuscation as a method to hide malicious code, a trend discovered by
Finjan researchers that is growing in popularity among hackers as a
means of bypassing traditional signature-based solutions in order to
propagate malware.  The report also describes recent specific incidents
of sophisticated hacker attacks that take advantage of Web 2.0
technologies to embed malicious code in high-traffic web sites -- a
vulnerability explored in Finjan’s previous Web Security Trends Report
(Q3 2006).  In addition, the latest Finjan report includes a review of
web security threats that emerged this year and the outlook for security
trends in 2007.
