Sorry for the delay. The word is that the WHATSNEW.TXT is not in demand,  so  "The 10 most common threats” section is not updated regularly.

There are a few ways to get that type of data.

1. Install the Threatcon Widget - http://www.symantec.com/business/threatcon/index.jsp

2. Download and install the Symantec Threat Monitor - http://www.symantec.com/business/theme.jsp?themeid=deepsight-screensaver

3. Licensed users can use the DeepSight Threat Management System - https://tms.symantec.com/Default.aspx

4. Visit the Security Response site for current threats , risks , and vulnerablilities - http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/index.jsp#
