Cybercriminals are now targeting Internet users through a massive SEO poisoning attack. The latest attack identified by security researchers at Sophos, attempts to capitalize on the Google image searches on various topics from global warming to Osama bin Laden’s death. The purpose of the attacks is to entice users to visit compromised web pages, wherein they are sought to download fake anti-virus programs. While browsing the compromised web pages, users are prompted with a fake anti-virus warning, which warns of spyware and adware on the computer. The attack targets Windows and Mac operating systems. When users attempt to close the window, they are prompted to download a .zip file, which either installs a fake anti-virus scanner or a Mac application. The interface of the fake anti-virus application resembles MacDefender, tricking users to believe that scanner is genuine. The fake scanner displays that some crucial applications are infected. Users are enticed to purchase the program to protect confidential information such as credit card information being compromised. Unwary users, who fall prey to the scam, reveal personally identifiable information such as names, credit card numbers, card expiry date, CVV number, e-mail addresses, mailing address and contact numbers.  Read more...

‘Take an information-centric view of security’

On one side digitization of information is providing quicker access and easy sharing using the information technology (IT) platform, while on the other side, it further demands great control and management of information.

Today, the rising incidents of unauthorized information access, data thefts or ineffectiveness of security mechanisms to protect information has raised major concerns among enterprises and organizations. Seclore Technologies’ CEO, Vishal Gupta talks to Pankaj Maru of Cyber Media News about information digitization and its changing dimensions, evolving information threats or risks, information security mechanism in the recessionary times and much more. Excerpts:

Digitization of information or data has completely changed the information dimensions and also the way it is used and managed today. Do you think the information digitization has brought in an entirely different perspective on information’s risk, its security and management, particularly at the enterprise level?

Absolutely. The methods to contain information risks before and after digitization are completely different. Before digitization, physical access control to information was the only method of its security. Examples of such are large document vaults which still exist in some pharmaceutical companies and law firms. With digitization and the collaboration that it brings, access control methods are rendered ineffective since replication and transmission of information is easy.  Read more...
