Top Ten Security Threats

I came across the following vulnerability breakdowns while reading through Richard’s BLOG:

Top Vulnerabilities in Cross-Platform Applications

        * C1. Backup Software
        * C2. Anti-virus Software
        * C3. PHP-based Applications
        * C4. Database Software
        * C5. File Sharing Applications
        * C6. DNS Software
        * C7. Media Players
        * C8. Instant Messaging Applications
        * C9. Mozilla and Firefox Browsers
        * C10. Other Cross-platform Applications

Most hosts are equipped with backup and anti-virus solutions, so this list is amusing and at the same time extremely scarey. Yikes!
