Q. What changes have you seen in the security industry, and are we going to win the war on hackers?

A. The security industry is basically the same, yes the technologies have evolved somewhat, but so have the hackers and their techniques. It is a vicious circle, and I think it will continue that way for years to come.

Q. Has the hacking community changed at all?

A. Yes, the actual community has become smaller, underground companies are hiring small gangs of hackers to deface and fraud companies all over the world. Hacking is now more of an organised crime than anything.

Q. Internet banking and online shopping are the craze at the moment, yet the general feeling is that it is still not that secure. Do you use Internet banking, and, if so, do you trust it?
