SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- The number of cyber attacks on corporate networks rose 20 percent in the second half of 2002, Web security provider Symantec Corp. said in a report published this week, as the number of reported vulnerabilities nearly doubled from a year earlier.
The report came days after the debilitating attack of the "SQL Slammer" worm that suddenly slowed Internet traffic worldwide, nearly shut down Web access in South Korea and brought many U.S. automatic teller machines to a standstill.
Average attacks per company, according to research conducted by Symantec, rose 20 percent in the last six months of 2002 compared to the same period a year earlier, Symantec said.
