How do cyber criminals get your data? What do they do with it?

How do cyber criminals get your data? What do they do with it? | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From site.nq.com - May 14, 2013 5:10 PM

By now, most everyone has heard the story: on April 23rd, the AP’s twitter account was “hacked.” The tweet, which was a fairly obviously fake, still managed to send Wall Street into a panic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 145 points in 2 minutes.

 

So why is this important? It highlights the reality of the threat landscape.

 

The point of the story is that mobile security isn’t just about protecting you from viruses. Threats don’t only come in the form of malicious applications that one inadvertently “sideloads” onto his or her device. Mobile security is also about making sure your data is protected.

 

It doesn’t matter whether the economic climate is good or bad, there is always a market for fraud. The marketplace for carding is growing and will continue to grow. And as the engineers behind these types of attacks get smarter and smarter, we can only expect to see them more and more often.

Security is changing, organizations are unprepared - BYOD

Security is changing, organizations are unprepared - BYOD | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - March 4, 2013 2:25 PM

F5 Networks announced the findings of its 2013 RSA Security Trends Survey, which revealed that organizations are struggling to keep pace with the changing face of security. Respondents were RSA attendees with IT responsibilities over planning, management, oversight, or implementation of security.


BYOD is seen as critical in an organization’s ability to achieve the level of security it desires, yet a sizeable number of organizations are not taking the appropriate steps to address it.

Most (75%) see BYOD as being prevalent in their organization.Furthermore, two-thirds (66%) see BYOD as having a somewhat to extremely high impact on security.Despite this, one-third (35%) say they are not prepared to provide adequate security to protect against threats associated with BYOD.

Two of the vulnerabilities can be leveraged to silently install highly privileged apps without requiring any user interaction. A different issue can be exploited by an attacker to send SMS messages without requiring the android.permission.SEND_SMS permission. 

Another vulnerability can be used to silently make phone calls, send emails and SMSs, and perform “almost any action.”
