New virus deceive machines, not only to men

Between the first and second half of 2008, his body has grown 120%. "Spending on security reach U.S. $ 2.600 million annually, or one third of the research for" On the one hand, a password (identity) "is" just a dollar in the United States or Western Europe. On the other hand, the ten largest recorded attacks until the end of the year have cost about U.S. $ 30,000 million, accounting for only infected machines hopelessly blocked and services or benefits. But beyond the current problem and those fees and, perhaps, is doing the same with pirated or "hackers" of flesh and bone. The new horsemen of the Apocalypse gallop from Russia, Moldova, Belarus, Transdñestria-existence of an illegal state, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia or Estonia. The last four are members of the European Union. Simply a dollar or € 0.70 for a "dose", a digital identity of others: personal details, tax codes, passwords people and bank account numbers. That was in 2007 a group of Russians and Ukrainians who stole from Estonia 40 million American identities. Until now, various police, FBI or CIA type agencies and private services have crashed against a mobile enemy and ever changing. Seeking paragons, some point to Lisbeth Salander, the heroine of the trilogy larsoniana film "Millennium." Not to be noticed, the new virus penetrate PC, servers, cell phones or any other multi-vehicle computer. In one country, Italy, the "Report 5" (Intelligence and Security) from Microsoft reveals that in the first half of 2008, attacks rose 20% over the second half of 2007. The pace has not been eased in July to December last. Dato dildoes: Most viruses and worms detected were "only" Trojan horses. That is, malicious programs with hidden surprises, overall damage to the machine. Nevertheless, the rise of virus higher risks of theft and digital forms new terrorism, piracy and even war without physical weapons or fighters. Unlike Lisbeth, however, these do not stop intérlopes to anyone, as we learned recently, the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, whose bank account was looted. But overall, the latest generation of hackers do not get involved with people with known or megaestafadores style Bernard Madoff, whose activities were known in cyberspace for some time illegal. However, in case there is a political side Sarkozy disturbing: despite the efforts of police and security, France has not yet been able to identify the culprits. Some suspicious, on both sides of the North Atlantic, note that these viruses do not get even smarter with the Russian and Chinese leaders, perhaps in exchange for quiet operate from bases located in the virtual heart of Eurasia. What Sarkozy suggests, however, that it is no longer young "nerds" or simple adventurers. Ultimately, bands and university Russians do the dirty work only bombard the world with unwanted messages ( "spam") poorly drafted that almost always try to catch personal bank details (phishing) for resale. At this point, phishing is the most basic and simply delete the message without opening it. This is true even for sexual hook with spam, which can only attract jerks. But everything evolves and, for some time, experts mathematical Slavs use the same kind of tools and technology demonstrated in the recent issue of illegal espionage linked to Telecom Italia. Says people from Google, Microsoft, etc.., Phishing forefront of improving and creating malware-software-criminal capable of deceiving computers and servers. In comparison, the mere diversion access is prehistory. "Before, an expert warned could suspicious maneuvers on the Web today is going to deceive people to cheat by attacking machines and systems that affect large portals or social sites like YouTube and Facebook." The worms are activated with smart keywords and work just like the interceptions made by international agencies of espionage. These new resources dot the sides of the fractal universe of numbers and the offense are virtual instruments as derivative financial speculation on a risk even incalculable.
