     1= Mob Involvement with 0-day Exploits to Increase in 2007? = 
     2Increasingly, we see profit motivations as the main driver for 0-day exploits. So, it would not surprise me that attackers are already working with organized crime syndicates to reap profits. In this [http://www.informationweek.com/security/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196700468 article], Dan Hubbard from Websense is stating that we will see many more 0-day exploits against vulnerabilities in both server and client applications, and that we will see the organized crime groups start to really take advantage of the Internet as a profitable medium.

     4This makes sense, and it will be interesting to see what the extent of the cooperation is between the attackers and mobs. It would also be useful to correlate some additional information, such as whether the attacks target specific groups.
