Future Risks
Web 2.0. Web browsers are equipped with interactive features. Intelligence is increasingly displaced from webserver to client. Risks are displaced from "fewer" servers to "more" clients. Web 2.0 is based on insecure JavaScript technology.
Hybrid Technologies
Telephony and internet are growing together. VoIP-technology (Voice over Internet Protocol) is conquering the market. Its security is still completely underdeveloped. Cell phone/PDA systems lead to absolutely new risks.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
Scanning without visual contact. Stored data can be modified (procedure tracing).
Metallic barriers do not obstruct scanning. Scanning range: 5 to 30 meters.
The threat is misuse of data, data manipulation as well as SQL-injection attacks.
Terrorism
Terrorists are using modern communications techniques.
