Tuesdays in December worst for security threats
« on: January 10, 2011, 22:13 »
Tuesday is the worst day for security threats around the world, according to a report from SonicWall.

The security firm said Monday came close behind Tuesday as the "most active day for threat-related traffic" for much of Europe, the US, China and India.

In the UK specifically, Friday was the worst day, at least for the week in November that SonicWall released data for.
