Online Threats Materializing Faster, Study Shows

A new study shows that online threats are materializing faster after security holes are publicly disclosed. And, with more and more people disclosing flaws before these companies have the opportunity to fix them, things will only get worse.


More and more of these attacks are coming within 24 hours after a vulnerability is disclosed. That means security flaws are being exploited in Web browsers, computer operating systems and other programs before many people even have had time to learn there's a problem, according to IBM Corp.'s latest Internet Security Systems X-Force report.
