So from Apple's perspective, changing the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement to prohibit the use of things like Flash CS5 and MonoTouch to create iPhone apps makes complete sense. I'm not saying you have to like this. I'm not arguing that it's anything other than ruthless competitiveness. I'm not arguing (up to this point) that it benefits anyone other than Apple itself. I'm just arguing that it makes sense from Apple's perspective — and it was Apple's decision to make.

Fortinet observed the primary drivers behind these threats to be two of the most notorious botnet "loaders" — Bredolab and Pushdo. Another important finding is the aggressive entrance of a new zero-day threat in FortiGuard's top ten attack list, MS.IE.Userdata.Behavior.Code.Execution, which accounted for 25 percent of the detected activity last month."
