BRUSSELS and HERAKLION, Greece, March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The EU's 'cyber security' Agency, ENISA today published a comprehensive study on the botnet threat (networks of ordinary computers controlled by cybercriminals), and how to address it. The report looks at the reliability of botnet size estimates and makes recommendations for all groups involved in the fight against botnets. Alongside the main report the Agency sets out the top 10 key issues for policymakers in - "Botnets:10 Tough Questions"

A new study will see researchers from the University of East London using eye-tracking technology to establish if future language, social and attention weaknesses can be identified in babies as young as six-months. 

Being able to predict weaknesses in the critical pre-school years would enable professionals to develop targeted interventions, and increase the long-term chances that babies born in some of the UK's most deprived areas can enter school with an equal chance of success.

It is the first time a study of this kind has been taken directly into the community through Children's Centres to engage parents from all backgrounds.
