National Trends and Issues
  • Malware, worms, and Trojan horses These will
    continue to spread by email, instant messaging,
    malicious websites, and infected non-malicious
    websites. Some websites will automatically
    download the malware without the users knowledge
    or intervention. This is known as a drive-by
    download. Other methods will require the users
    to click on a link or button.
  • Botnets and zombies These threats will continue
    to proliferate as the attack techniques evolve
    and become available to a broader audience, with
    less technical knowledge required to launch
    successful attacks. Botnets designed to steal
    data are improving their encryption capabilities
    and thus becoming more difficult to detect.
  • Scareware fake/rogue security software There
    are millions of different versions of malware,
    with hundreds more being created and used every
    day. This type of scam can be particularly
    profitable for cyber criminals -- as many users
    believe the pop-up warnings telling them their
    system is infected and are lured into downloading
    and paying for the special software to protect
    their system.

7
National Trends and Issues
  • Attacks on client-side software - With users
    keeping their operating systems patched,
    client-side software vulnerabilities are now an
    increasingly popular means of attacking systems.
    Client-side software includes things like
    Internet browsers, media players, PDF readers,
    etc. This software will continue to have
    vulnerabilities and subsequently be targeted by
    various malwares.
  • Ransom attacks occur when a user or company is
    hit by malware that encrypts their hard drives or
    they are hit with a Distributed Denial of Service
    Attack (DDOS) attack. The cyber criminals then
    notify the user or company that if they pay a
    small fee, the DDOS attack will stop or the hard
    drive will be unencrypted. This type of attack
    has existed for a number of years and is now it
    is gaining in popularity.
  • Social Network Attacks Social network attacks
    will be one of the major sources of attacks in
    2010 because of the volume of users and the
    amount of personal information that is posted.
    Users inherent trust in their online friends is
    what makes these networks a prime target. For
    example, users may be prompted to follow a link
    on someone's page, which could bring users to a
    malicious website.

National Trends and Issues
  • Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a growing
    trend due to its considerable cost saving
    opportunities for organizations. Cloud computing
    refers to a type of computing that relies on
    sharing computing resources rather than
    maintaining and supporting local servers. The
    growing use of cloud computing will make it a
    prime target for attack.
  • Web Applications There continues to be a large
    number of websites and online applications
    developed with inadequate security controls.
    These security gaps can lead to the compromise of
    the site and potentially to the site's visitors.
  • Budget cuts will be a problem for security
    personnel and a boon to cyber criminals. With
    less money to update software, hire personnel and
    implement security controls enterprises will be
    trying to do more with less. By not having
    up-to-date software, appropriate security
    controls or enough personnel to secure and
    monitor the networks, organizations will be more
    vulnerable.

National Trends and Issues
  • Cybercrime costs American companies a median loss
    of 3.8 million a year, according to a study
    released by security firm ArcSight and the
    Ponemon Institute, a privacy research
    organization.
  • The study was based on interviews with data
    protection and IT practitioners from 45 U.S.
    organizations from various sectors, who shared
    details about the volume of threats they face
    every day. Over a four-week period, these
    companies experienced 50 successful attacks per
    week. That's more than one successful attack per
    organization per week.
  • Losses to cybercrime ranged from 1 million on
    the lower end to as much as 52 million, the
    report said.
  • Cybercriminals are increasingly focussing on
    money, a new report suggests, and improved
    organisation means that toolkits have been
    developed to methodically infect PCs so that
    illegally obtained information can be bought and
    sold.
  • In a survey by security firm AVG, 165 internet
    domains were found to have attacked 12 million
    visitors over the course of two months. More than
    1.2 million computers were subsequently
    infected.

10
Current Hacks and Security Issues
  • Infected USB drive blamed for 08 Military
    cyber breach 8.25.2010
  • Malware spread undetected to both classified
    and unclassified systems, essentially
    establishing a digital beachhead from which
    data could be transferred to servers outside the
    U.S
  • Cameron Diaz is the most dangerous celebrity in
    Cyberspace 8.19.2010 McAfee Most Dangerous
    Celebrities study found movie stars and models
    top the "most dangerous. Cybercriminals often
    use the names of popular celebrities to lure
    people to sites that are actually laden with
    malicious software.
  • A Threat Worse Than 9/11 8.12.2010
  • Warns the nations total dependence on our
    automated infrastructureelectric grid, air
    traffic control, manufacturing, and businessand
    our national defense networks are dangerously
    vulnerable to accelerated and insidious threats.
  • Heartland Payment Systems - 1.20.2009 Largest
    Breach to date
  • A credit card processor with clients in Florida,
    said a massive data breach exposed the personal
    information contained in more than 130 million
    credit and debit card transactions in 2008.
  • Security officials warn of worm spread via USB
    drives - 1.13.2009
  • A worm that took advantage of un-patched
    Microsoft Windows machines last week has sparked
    some security professionals to speculate
    cybercriminals may be preparing for a
    "large-scale attack.
