Stony Stevenson writes "Security experts have warned that new developments in malware are allowing criminals to stay one step ahead of security software. Marc Henauer, head of the cyber-crime division at the Swiss Justice and Police Department, said in an interview last week that viruses and other malware now have the capability to change their signature every few hours. This means that the attackers are often one step ahead of protection software. Geoff Sweeney, chief technology officer at Tier-3, a behavioural analysis IT security firm, echoed the remarks. "It automatically adapts to the anti-spam and anti-malware engines that it encounters," he said."
