Excerpts:
This isn't just the work of amateurs anymore. Organized gangs of highly trained software and hardware experts from places like Eastern Europe or Asia are now connected to people of similar or complementary skills in the U.S. and Western Europe. The prizes are valuable secrets ranging from personal identities and passwords to intellectual property at the foundation of global corporations (see "Hackonomics").
"All the stuff we know about is the tip of the iceberg," [Ken Silva, chief security officer at Verisign] says. So-called worms and bots (software robots) are "noisy," making their presence known quickly. "The real problem is where people have developed programs that are relatively quiet and which slowly infiltrate the data in such a way that it can sit there for years and no one knows it."
