No,m not NEW information. So it is put here in Other.
This might be news to some.

Attackers are bigger, bolder, and faster
Volume 20 of SYMANTEC’s Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR) reveals that cyberattackers are infiltrating networks by hijacking company's infrastructures, while also extorting end-users through their smartphones and social media.

Some very innovative tricks are being used by the virus makers.
In 2014, we saw attackers trick companies into infecting themselves by Trojanizing software updates to common programs and patiently waiting for their targets to download them. Once a victim had downloaded the software update, attackers were given unfettered ACCESS to the corporate network. Highly-targeted spear-phishing attacks remained a favorite tactic for infiltrating networks, as the total number of attacks rose eight percent. What makes last year particularly interesting is the precision of these attacks. Spear-phishing attacks used 20 percent fewer emails to successfully reach their targets and incorporated more drive-by malware DOWNLOADS and other web-based exploits.
