Нова битка во cyber криминалот

The new battleground in cybercrime

In an age where "data equals money," fortune has replaced fame as hackers' key motivation. Criminals are willing to pay top dollar for personal, financial, and corporate data collected by Trojans and other "crimeware."

The evidence is out there. Price lists discovered on the black market reveal that criminals are willing to pay $5,000 for a financial report, $500 for a credit card with PIN, and $150 for a driver's license ID.

With do-it-yourself malicious software packages available for $200, cybercriminals need neither deep pockets nor programming skills to compromise a Web site or steal sensitive financial data from an infected PC. Indeed, Finjan's security research confirms that crimeware toolkits have become cybercriminals' favorite weapon. The new business model is criminal-2-criminal (C2C)--attackers selling malicious code and stolen data to other criminal elements that profit from it.

Most government offices, financial institutions, and large enterprises deploy signature-based antivirus tools and a network firewall to protect highly sensitive and private data. The fact is that cybercriminals know this, and they use new antiforensic techniques specifically designed to bypass these traditional security solutions.
