Cyber Attacks are indeed on the rise. The Factors that are contributing to the rise are increased knowledge about cyber crimes, and attacks, and some people that spend more and more time online go out looking for cyber attack resources. The reason there is an increase is due to the curiousity, and online community relation of cyber-attack junkies. People are intrigued, and end up going and searching for malicious code, back doors, pre-made viruses and help distribute them.....its almost like a whole new fan base and following.

I expect the situation to steadily get worse, and as a result we have already seen increased efforts on security in everything we do online....the plus side, is that it appears to create a new job sector in I.T.....I think as some I.T. analysts sometimes predict about the "Hottest" I.T. jobs over the next few years, they are definately going to be in the Security area, and Security related certifications.
