In one case, a single source leaked more than 1.5 billion records [see Yahoo breach]. In the first three months of 2016, the FBI estimated cybercriminals were paid a reported $209 million via ransomware. This would put criminals on pace to make nearly $1 billion from their use of the malware just last year. In 2016, many significant breaches related to unstructured data such as email archives, business documents, intellectual property and source code were also compromised. The most popular types of malcode we observed in 2016 were Android malware, banking Trojans, ransomware offerings and DDoS-as-a-service vendors. Since DDoS tools are mostly sold as a service and not as malware per se, we will focus here on banking Trojans, Android malware and ransomware. In December 2016, a malware developer with an ongoing banking Trojan project showed up in underground forums, aspiring to sell some licenses as he worked on completing the development of all its modules. The actor promised to deliver future capabilities, such as a Socket Secure (SOCKS) proxy and hidden virtual network computing alongside technical support and free bug fixes. The malware was named Nuclear Bot, or NukeBot, at the time. IBM wrote it has yet to see NukeBot/Micro Bot active in the wild, analyses performed by X-Force and other vendors found that it has the potential to rise in 2017 and bring back commercial Trojan sales in the underground. In 2015, Healthcare was the most attacked industry with Financial Services falling to third, however, attackers in 2016 refocused back on Financial Services. IBM did note that while the healthcare industry continued to be beleaguered by a high number of incidents, attackers hit on smaller targets resulting in a lower number of leaked records. In 2016, only 12 million records were compromised in healthcare - keeping it out of the top 5 most-breached industries. For perspective, nearly 100 million healthcare records were compromised in 2015 resulting in an 88% drop in 2016, IBM stated.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2017-03-29T08:35:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3185813/security/ibm-on-the-state-of-network-security-abysmal.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=349028 False None Yahoo None Network World - Magazine Info "Right back at you vendors: OUR independent study of YOUR independent research")But I figured you'd want to know what superpowers your peers desire, since I'm sure that's a discussion you and your colleagues have had at some point or another (my superpower would be to dodge vendor survey pitches).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2017-03-29T08:02:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3186171/backup-recovery/invisibility-teleportation-among-top-superpowers-that-it-pros-want.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=349029 False None None None Network World - Magazine Info Lookout said, “Each time he tapped 'OK' he would be prompted to tap 'OK' again, effectively putting the browser into an infinite loop of dialog prompts that prevented him from using the browser.”To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2017-03-29T07:38:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3186229/security/updating-apple-ios-will-protect-you-from-this-fake-ransomware-attack.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=349030 False None None None Network World - Magazine Info voted 215 to 205 to strike down ISP privacy regulations approved by the Federal Communications Commission only months ago.
