Symantec Security Response: Top Five Instant Messaging Security Risks for 2006
Overview Instant Messaging (IM) continues to be the fastest growing communications medium, with an estimated 390 million consumer and enterprise IM users by the end of 2006. Global services such as AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger each report over 1 billion messages sent per day, and IM traffic is expected to exceed email traffic by the end of 2006. As one of the most successful and widely deployed applications on the Internet, IM has increasingly become the target for attackers to propagate IM-borne viruses, worms, Spam over IM (SPIM), malware, and phishing attacks. Though widely adopted, IM is generally unprotected and unmonitored in consumer and enterprise environments, leaving it vulnerable to attacks and exploits.
