Michael Dickey, thanks for the feed back. 5.K1dd, I see your point. Truth be told, attackers may not want the small business' data directly, but they sure are easily caught in a net looking for low hanging fruit. I imagine they are somewhat justified from the standpoint of not being the focus of a targeted attack(baring disgruntled workers/customers), but everyone is worth something as one more set of nodes in a bot net. I wonder how many bot net owners scour all new machines in their network for PII that would be useful for identity fraud?
