Hackers to use mobiles to mount DDoS attacks

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Mobile devices are reportedly being used for mounting attacks on businesses by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attackers.<br /><br />Prolexic Technologies' president Stuart Scholly said that in 2014, applications commonly used in DDoS attacks like Low Orbit Ion Canon (LOIC) will increasingly become ported to mobile platforms.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmHkLAqNp7WroLQTsyV-s93RzNBcp10D0Aguse-P0Tp1V9gHEKfQ1VVb0bcsV7aFlD2RtkbhGP9KQNCFRLezWmtwlX9PFXWSwHMGLNGb85jYUPl1IE4Cr_E_a7r3EBEZjqpG8hZ_LhUlvW/s1600/ddos-attack-protection-plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmHkLAqNp7WroLQTsyV-s93RzNBcp10D0Aguse-P0Tp1V9gHEKfQ1VVb0bcsV7aFlD2RtkbhGP9KQNCFRLezWmtwlX9PFXWSwHMGLNGb85jYUPl1IE4Cr_E_a7r3EBEZjqpG8hZ_LhUlvW/s1600/ddos-attack-protection-plan.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />The company also detected the use of AnDOSid, an Android app that can mount an HTTP POST flood attack, PC World reported<br /><br />With easy availability of downloadable apps and open option for users to join DDoS campaigns, the increase in number of DDos attacks is said to be a game changer.<br /><br />A 2013 report released by an American-based DDoS protection firm suggested that mobile phones will continue to play a prominent role in DDoS attacks, targeting still infrastructure.<br /><br />According to the report, DDoS attacks on Prolexic clients in 2013 increased by 26% over the preceeding year and attacks on still infrastructure amounted to 76% of total recorded attacks, with the largest attack surpassing 179Gbps.</div>

20 Million Credit Cards stolen in South Korea, 40% Population affected by the Data Leak

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Since all threats to data security and privacy often come from outside, but internal threats are comparatively more dangerous and a difficult new dimension to the data loss prevention challenge i.e. Data Breach. The "Insider threats" have the potential to cause greater financial losses than attacks that originate outside the company.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMEt7RAyhzVIuKHtCgpwsLQKEnp0UjBwXNq3hVXgzB5bqZyVfMsoRNcy2QVZDp5EO0wU8mW4esc66dkey4JFJNU9Wu9B5go_d4R0oOz3IMv63asf-Fn1iVMvK9niE6eAmZvt9alcwqOsmR/s1600/creditcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMEt7RAyhzVIuKHtCgpwsLQKEnp0UjBwXNq3hVXgzB5bqZyVfMsoRNcy2QVZDp5EO0wU8mW4esc66dkey4JFJNU9Wu9B5go_d4R0oOz3IMv63asf-Fn1iVMvK9niE6eAmZvt9alcwqOsmR/s1600/creditcards.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />This is what happened recently with three credit card firms in South Korea, where the financial and personal data belonging to users of at least 20 million, in a country of 50 million, was stolen by an employee, who worked as a temporary consultant at Korean Credit Bureau (KCB).<br /><br />“Confidential data of customers ranging from the minister-level officials to celebrities, including their phone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers, and even some banking records, have been leaked from Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank and several other commercial banks”,<br /><br />The stolen data includes the bank account numbers, customers' names, social security numbers, phone numbers, credit card numbers and expiration dates, according to the estimate by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS).<br /><br />The arrested employee behind the theft, later sold the data to phone marketing companies, whose managers were also arrested earlier this month.<br /><br />"The credit card firms will cover any financial losses caused to their customers due to the latest accident," the FSS said and assured that the Regulators have launched investigations into security measures at the affected firms.<br /><br />"Their parent firms seem to be taking a step back (from the issue) and not showing any responsible attitude, We will hold them fully responsible for the data leak if their sharing of client data among affiliates and internal control turn out to be the cause."<br /><br />Now this is not the first time when a company is facing data breach because of Insider Threat, last month an employee of Citibank Korea was arrested for stealing the personal data of 34,000 customers. In 2012, two South Korean hackers were arrested for data from 8.7 million customers in the nation's second-biggest mobile operator.</div>
