'Most-Reported Threats ' survey
from security outfit Fortinet covering June 2008. In this list of the
top 10 most reported high-risk threats for June it shows that the most
active online gaming Trojans took the second and fourth positions. When
looked at as a single unit, the gaming brethren were the most active
malware family, making up more than 35 percent of total threats for the
month.

gaming market thriving with consumers, malicious activity will very
likely continue for some time in this emerging sector as it forms a
viable target."
