Chris Cantell Discusses SigEx Telecom, Online Security: Fura de la bogati, dau la saraci Notme

Firma de cercetari in domeniul securitatii, Symantec a descoperit noi tehnici de fraudare aparute printre hotii online. Pentru a verifica daca un card pe care ei l-au furat inca este valid, ei dau mici sume simbolice care destinatii de caritate cum ar fi Christian Aid, Islamic Relief si Crucea Rosie.Yazan Gable, un inginer responsabil cu securitatea la Symantec, spunea pe un blog "in lumea cardurilor, unde informatiile despre carti de credit sunt vandute si cumparate, hotii trebuie sa stie daca aceste carduri pe care ei le cumpara sau le vand pot fi folosite. Este de multe ori dificil pentru ei sa verifice aceasta fara a ridica suspicini asupra lor si fara sa riste identificarea cardului ca fiind furat si astfel inutil. Ca o consecinta, apare un nou trend".Managerul Securitatii de la Symantec, Javier Santoyo spune ca acesti hoti au chiar si canale specifice de IRC unde manevreaza aceste carduri. Ei chiar au si script-uri si boti care verifica validitatea, obtin numele utilizatorului, numarul de securitate sociala si limita superioara a cardului.O purtatoare de cuvant din partea Crucii Rosii, Carrie Martin a afirmat ca luna trecut Crucea Rosie a fost nevoita sa returneze aproape 7000$ care au fost donati din 700 de tranzactii fraudulente dintr-un total de 3600 donatii efectuate online."Este un fapt cotidian. Nu stiu ce fel de trend este. Este ceva pe care noi incercam sa prevenim. Avem masuri de prevenire a fraudelor pentru a mentine nivelul de fraudare cat mai mic posibil."
