Cyber security continues to be a grey area and one could say that the threat perception has always been on upward swing.
The year 2010 saw the deadly Stuxnet worm among others shaking up the security system.
The year 2011 is not expected to be any different as cyber criminals will look to target major platforms such as Adroid, Apple software and those which have not yet been exposed to a security risk.
In addition to this 2011 will also see politically motivated attacks as groups are expected to repeat the WiKiLeaks paradigm.
McAfee has outlined the top threats for the year 2011 and the list comprises Google's Android, Apple's iPhone, foursquare, Google TV and the Mac OS X platform, which are all expected to become major targets for cybercriminals.
