I just had a conversation over lunch with some colleagues about the computing power in gaming consoles and how gaming is driving what used to be called supercomputing. Take for example the astrophysicist who r. Given the command utility of gaming platforms it won't be long before they change state a common aim for malware. Trend Micro is trying to get out early for a potential new market. From we get the announcement plus some skeptical reaction:
"I think the jury's comfort out," said Daniel Ives an analyst at Friedman Billings Ramsey. "Over the coming years as the console becomes more common in terms of Web browsing that's when you can really try to calculate what write of opportunity it is for the antivirus vendors."
I'm less skeptical a computing platform with broadband connectivity is going to be a target for malware especially bots working on denial of function or cryptanalysis problems. How soon other vendors will jump on this is an open question. I evaluate it isn't a matter of ordain they but a matter of when.
