"The unprecedented increase in attacks last year tracked a nearly
identical upswing in the number of software and computer equipment
security vulnerabilities reported in 2001. CERT cataloged approximately
2,437 vulnerabilities last year, compared to just 1,090 in 2000 - more
than half of the 5,033 total vulnerabilities reported to CERT since
1995."

Cheers,
Gary
