INFOGRAPHIE - Des virus bloquent à distance les ordinateurs puis leurs propriétaires sont sommés de payer une «amende».
La supercherie, découverte aux États-Unis par le FBI avant de gangrener l'Europe, a provoqué un vent de panique à l'échelle planétaire. Selon nos informations, pas moins de 1284 plaintes ont déjà été enregistrées depuis novembre 2011 par la gendarmerie en France. «Ce n'est que la partie émergée de l'iceberg, car au moins dix fois plus d'internautes ont été infectés par le virus», précise le colonel Freyssinet. «Si une partie d'entre eux ont eu la bonne idée de ne pas verser la rançon, d'autres ayant fréquenté des sites illégaux préfèrent ne pas se vanter de leur mésaventure et tentent de régler le problème en bidouillant leur ordinateur avec les moyens du bord», renchérit-on à la Direction générale de la gendarmerie nationale.

The EU’s new European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) will be inaugurated at Europol in The Hague later today.
The facility will act as the "focal point" in the EU’s fight against cybercrime, against both businesses and private citizens. The centre is designed to provide greater international co-ordination in the fight against online fraud, child abuse and other cybercrimes which can't be effectively tackled by national police forces alone.

A team of researchers have created a proof-of-concept piece of malware that can give attackers control of USB smart card readers attached to an infected Windows computer over the Internet.
In the case of USB smart card readers, the attacker can use the middleware software provided by the smart card manufacturer to perform operations with the victim's card as if it was attached to his own computer, said Paul Rascagneres, an IT security consultant at Luxembourg-based security auditing and consulting firm Itrust Consulting, last week. Rascagneres is also the founder and leader of a malware analysis and engineering project called malware.lu, whose team designed this USB sharing malware.
There are already documented cases of malware that hijacks smart card devices on the local computer and uses them through the API (application programming interface) provided by the manufacturer.
