Despite investing in a variety of security technologies, enterprises continue to suffer network attacks at the hands of malware writers and inside operatives, according to an annual FBI report released today. Many security incidents continue to go unreported.

Of the intrusion attempts coming from outside the organizations, the most common countries of origin included the United States, China, Nigeria, Germany, Russia and Romania.

An example of this type of stepping-stone attack would be a Romanian hacker that uses a proxy computer in China to access a compromised computer in the United States, the report said. This U.S.-based computer would then be used to perform the computer intrusion. Those investigating the incident may falsely conclude that the source was within the United States.

The software should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments. Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview will only run on Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) systems, but will ultimately be available for Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Server 2003.
