Urgent action is needed in order to combat emerging cyber-attack trends — ENISA | WEBOLUTION! | Scoop.it
EU cyber security agency, ENISA, has today issued an information Flash Note, ‘Cyber attacks – a new edge for old weapons’ that analyses and tracks recent cyber attacks.

 

The latest targeted cyber-attacks on government organizations and high-profile companies show the need for greater awareness and knowhow in network and information security, says the EU’s European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA).

The latest targeted cyber-attacks on government organizations and high-profile companies show the need for greater awareness and knowhow in network and information security, says the EU’s European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA).

 

Cyber-Security should get taken much more serious by Education and by teachers and taught in schools up from the early age! It is NOT difficult and a culture of aware Digital-Citizen needs to get build up!

Security Threats in 2013 - Check also for Mac Malware

Security Threats in 2013 - Check also for Mac Malware | WEBOLUTION! | Scoop.it

Read about the latest cyber security trends in the Sophos Security Threat Report 2013.

 

Most malware developers have found it more profitable to attack Windows than to learn new skills needed to target the smaller OS X user community.

 

===> But Macs are finding a new home in thousands of businesses and government agencies, and malware authors are paying attention. <===


Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillette recently reported that “almost half of enterprises (1,000 employees or more) are issuing Macs to at least some employees—and they plan a 52% increase in the number of Macs they issue in 2012.”

 

===> Even more Macs are arriving unofficially through bring your own device arrangements, where they are often an executive’s device of choice for accessing web or cloud applications. <===

 

===> Growing Mac usage means many IT organizations must objectively assess, mitigate, and anticipate Mac-related malware threats for the first time. And the risks are clearly increasing! <===

With big names such as Zappos, Amazon, LinkedIn and Android gracing the list, there's a good chance you have fallen victim to a security breach this year.

 

It’s been a chilling year so far for web and mobile security. Cybercriminals continue to think of clever and sneaky ways to strip millions of consumers of credit card information and personal data, thanks largely in part to malicious links, phishing scams and password hacks.

And with big names such as Zappos, Amazon, LinkedIn and Android gracing the list, there’s a good chance you or someone you know has fallen victim to a security breach.

Researchers Identify Four BlackBerry Zitmo Variants

Researchers Identify Four BlackBerry Zitmo Variants | WEBOLUTION! | Scoop.it
Security researcher Denis Maslennikov identified a new Zitmo variant for Android using the same command and control (C&C) numbers as the BlackBerry versions. The samples were three .cod files and one .jar file with a .cod file inside.

 

Security researchers have identified new Zeus samples targeting Android and BlackBerry devices.

 

Despite its significant user base within enterprises, BlackBerry devices have managed to stay off the radar for malware writers. That may be ending, as Kaspersky Lab recently analyzed four new Zeus-in-the-mobile (Zitmo) samples targeting BlackBerry users in Germany, Spain, and Italy, Denis Maslennikov, a researcher at Kaspersky Lab wrote on the company's Securelist blog. These variants were communicating with two command-and-control cell phone numbers associated with a Swedish mobile operator.

When research uses practices who go against all Ethics by using a botnet, which means that computer are getting first infected and than later connected together to form a botnet to find out about the map of the internet, one should ask about where RESEARCH is going :((( That certainly isn't good for the reputation of RESEARCH!!!
