HKCERT Calls for Heightened Security Measures against Cyber Threats

Amid increasing public concern over cyber threats, the local information security watchdog - the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) advises enterprises and Internet users to keep their security measures up to date, and guard against rising attacks on web servers and mobile devices.

The HKCERT advice comes in the wake of surging computer hacking and botnet reports in the first six months of 2013. Among the 622 security incidents handled by HKCERT of the Hong Kong Productivity Council, over 51% came from botnet and hacking. The 94% increase in such attacks is an urgent call for preventive measures.
