This idea, of course, is a tough one to “prove,” but we can see examples of it all around us.

The alert, dated Nov. 30, was triggered by a posting on what the DHS considered an Islamic jihadi Web site calling for hackers to attack U.S. financial and banking Web sites, apparently to protest the detention of Muslims at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However, the warning was heavily qualified, with DHS calling the threat “more aspirational than operational.” Financial firms downplayed the danger, too.

There’s more to securing virtual servers than not running VMs as guests of a Windows host. If cyberfelons gain local or remote access to a VMware Virtual Center console, your world is their oyster.

Latest among them is Authentium, a provider of security SaaS (software as a service) products, which said recently that a new product, VirtualATM, can shut off PatchGuard so the company could secure online banking transactions, even on infected PCs.
