Botnet Takedown Highlights Need for End User Cleanup

An examination of court records and interviews reveals how a hacker's computer crime syndicate spanned several continents and funneled money around the globe — often without being detected.

There's good news following this week's global law enforcement takedown of the Zeus Gameover Trojan and Cryptolocker ransomware campaigns: The number of new infections has become "very low," if not fallen to zero.

In the Dark Web world of cyber hackers, "Slavik" achieved legendary stature years ago, then purportedly retired. Instead, authorities say he went on a dazzling crime spree that used more than 1 million infected computers to reach directly into U.S. banks and businesses to steal millions.

The program attached to the emails is actually a keylogger, according to Trend Micro

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) teaming with international law enforcement, yesterday fingered Evgeniy Bogachev as the cyber-crime boss operating a Zeus-trojan-based botnet that has allegedly stolen millions from U.S. business bank accounts over the past five years.

One of the most intricate and sophisticated global cybercrime investigations ever completed led to the multinational takedown of the botnet used to feed the banking Trojan Gameover Zeus as well as servers for CryptoLocker ransomware, cyber-intelligence sources say. But what does the takedown mean for banking institutions in the long run?

The US Department of Justice and the FBI have announced a multinational effort that includes Europol and the UK’s National Crime Agency, that has managed to disrupt the GameOver Zeus botnet, believed to be responsible for a raft of financial compromises in the US and around the world.

An international public-private collaboration involving security companies and law enforcement agencies in 11 countries aims to disrupt the underlying infrastructure of the cybercrime industry.

Microsoft, the FBI, and some other companies across the world have recently managed to take down the central servers of the GameOver Zeus botnet, which has until now infected millions of computers with malware designed to steal bank details from affected PCs.

Can any password ever be strong enough?

In a sick twist of events, the roles may just have been reversed on eBay users. It's their social media identities and data that now have the greatest value in the cyber underground.

Passwords and personal data were stolen in eBay's cyberattack. Here's how to protect your information against future hacks

EBay users are being advised to change their passwords after hackers compromised some employees’ log-in credentials to break into the eBay corporate network.

eBay – a company that is entrusted with millions of people's personal data – is asking users to change their passwords in the wake of a cyber-attack that compromised encrypted passwords and other “non-financial” data.

Facebook users whose accounts that may be compromised will be offered antivirus scanning and removal from the site, using F-Secure and Trend Micro security.

Facebook has integrated new security capabilities into its abuse detection and prevention systems, so that users are immediately alerted when they log into their accounts from infected devices.

Facebook users' accounts and devices have the opportunity to utilize Trend Micro's free anti-virus tools to scan and clean their systems.

The hackers likely used a "spear phishing" attack to infiltrate eBay's systems, says JD Sherry, vice president for technology and solutions for Trend Micro, a computer security firm in Dallas, Tex.

Zero-day vulnerabilities garner well-deserved attention, but often it is older vulnerabilities that are at the center of targeted attacks.

Trend Micro revealed the online banking malware volume showed a 3 percent increase to 116,000 this quarter from 113,000 in the first quarter of 2013.

A quarter of US employees have had security problems with their personal mobile device at work but only 27% reported the issue to their boss, according to new Gartner research highlighting the ongoing risks associated with BYOD.

Trend Micro Chief Technology Officer Raimund Genes joins Firewall to discuss the latest cyber threats plaguing businesses and solutions to secure yourself from hackers.

A quarterly report found that 76 percent of targeted attacks – primarily launched by hacktivists or nation-state actors – were aimed at the government sector.

Cybercriminals continuously discover more ways to successfully target new outlets for financial theft, according to Trend Micro. Greed is motivating cybercriminals to take a non-traditional approach in the selection of unlikely targets, such as advanced threats to Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals and the exploitation of disasters.

Every now and then, phishers mount campaigns that simultaneously target users of different online services.

The volume of mobile malware and high-risk apps soared to over two million in the first quarter of 2014, a decade after the first proof-of-concept mobile malware but only six months since the one million milestone was reached, according to Trend Micro.

In an effort to provide comprehensive security for the customers of its Azure cloud platform, Microsoft has expanded its strategic partnership with IT security solutions provider Trend Micro.

Scammers are attempting to harvest more than one set of credentials

Some victims get lost in the details of the payment process and run out of time.

Perpetrators of a web-based phishing scheme are accepting any email credentials, most likely in a bid to speed up the arduous, yet typically more successful process of individually targeting a specific organization in order to steal account information.

The arrival of ransomware on the mobile scene is just the beginning of a gathering storm. "This is going to be massive," said Trend Micro VP JD Sherry. "This will be the year that we see a tremendous amount of malware hitting mobile phones, and I don't think consumers and organizations are prepared to handle these attacks once they migrate to mobile devices."

The resignation of Target Corp. CEO Gregg Steinhafel earlier this week indicates a growing awareness among the C-suite and boards that security is intimately intertwined with business strategy and should be viewed as a board-level issue.

Testing real-world effectiveness of antivirus products is really, really tough. Ideally, you'd measure the way they handle in-the-wild malicious websites and applications when encountered exactly the way a user would. Of course, in order to score the test you'd need the ability to identify every malicious object, even zero-day attacks.

Chief executive and president Gregg Steinhafel has left the company after 35 years, including giving up his seat as chairman of the company's board of directors. Steinhafel had overseen the company as CEO since 2008 and as president since 2009. His departure follows that of CIO Beth Jacobs, who was just replaced by Homeland Security veteran Bob DeRodes.

Sitting in a room with the leaders of the country's largest retailers would look decidedly different today than it did two years ago as CEO shakeups have rocked the industry.

While it's very important for an antivirus to detect and remove malicious programs, it's almost equally important that the antivirus refrain from identifying valid programs as malicious. In the latest file detection test byAV-Comparatives, false positives made a huge difference in score for several programs.

Millions of websites, applications from Cisco and VMware, Google Play apps, as well as millions of Android devices are vulnerable -- and the list keeps growing.

Brands and businesses are not implementing the security measures needed to protect assets, such as backing up data

So here’s some sort-of good news: Cybercriminals might be just as freaked out about the Heartbleed bug as the rest of us. Trend Micro analyst J.D. Sherry writesthat revelations about the gaping hole in the Open SSL, the security protocol used to encrypt web traffic, have caused “shell shock in the Deep Web as many of the hidden services within the TOR (The Onion Router) are impacted as well.”
