FEAR FACTOR 1:
Blended Attacks From Cybercrime Syndicates

New technologies inevitably spawn new criminal approaches. We face this now with blended attacks, which combine two or more approaches to stealing your data and/or your money. Guess what? It works and right now there's a criminal gold rush on to cash in before we adjust our defenses. And you can bet that by the time we get good at thwarting blended attacks, the crooks will have moved on to something even more effective -- and even more frightening.

The biggest fear here is one of the most unpleasant realities on the cybercrime front: Crooks are investing more resources into acquiring technical skills (and technically skilled personnel) than the cyber-security forces are investing in protection.
