2012 will see a rise in cyber-espionage attacks and sophisticated malware

"I thoroughly expect this trend to continue through 2012 and beyond," said Rik Ferguson, director of security innovation and communication at security firm Trend Micro.

Countries like the U.S., U.K., Germany, China and India have established specialized teams and centers to defend government assets against cyberattacks and to even retaliate, when required. Nevertheless, determining who is behind Internet-based hostile operations with certainty is impossible most of the time and that's just one of the problems.
