Security Trends on our Malware Portal

I recently blogged about three major announcements we made: http://blogs.technet.com/rhalbheer/archive/2007/04/25/three-microsoft-announcements.aspx

On that I got some comments (public and private) and some wishes. Thank you all forthis feedback. I linked it back to the resposible perons and we will definitely consider your input for future versions of the portal.

One point was, however, worth taking up publically as it came up several times: The wish to see attack trends. Being it the trends with regards to the different kinds of malware or the trend with regards to where attacks come from or the trend...

Well, there is little value - from out view - to do this realtime. But we definitely do research about it. Since some time we publish the Security Intelligence Report to give you just this kind of insight. If you are interested in that, it is mentioned in the referenced blog post as well or you could find the latest report here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AF816E28-533F-4970-9A49-E35DC3F26CFE&displaylang=en
