According to ScanSafe's Annual Global Threat Report, there has been a huge increase of threats during 2008.
Some of their notable findings include a data-theft Trojans increased with 1559% from 2007 to 2008. Such a growth makes an impact on business - not only on security. We have been talking about data-theft malware for a long time, and finally it seems that this trend is truly coming alive. To you, this means it is due time to reconsider your information security strategy, and to implement a classification system for your information.
Another interesting finding is that Q4 2008, ScanSafe saw "...the largest growth in this category [data-theft trojans]..." According to the report, the growth of these kinds of trojans are directly connected to the global financial chaos.
You should be able to source a copy of the report by contacting ScanSafe directly.
