ZeusiLeaks Archives File 001: The ex-Agent

OK folks, quick recap: if you think WikiLeaks is the largest leak of data the world has seen, think again. In fact, think two orders of magnitude bigger. Who needs a quarter of a million diplomatic cables, when we have the Zeus Trojan, most popular crimeware in the universe, sitting on millions of personal, corporate and government PCs stealing da...

ZeusiLeaks

I don’t know about you, but I was a bit disappointed with the whole WikiLeaks thingy. I mean, come on. The build up was brilliant: you would have thought we’ll finally have irrefutable evidence that a UFO landed in Roswell, that JFK assassination was indeed a CIA ploy, and that the 1969 moon landing was a NASA concocted hoax. Instead we got a bun...

Carbon Copy

February saw The Big Carbon Robbery. I explained about this unorthodox cash out method here; it’s quite simple really. Every EU country has a carbon emission quota; every polluting manufacturer within that country buys carbon emission licenses in a trading platform. These licenses are expensive, and if you just steal the user name and password f...

Snooping on Employees?

Two years ago I wrote about Curse of the Were-Laptop, which highlighted the fact PCs are used for both personal use and work; your employees can get themselves infected outside the corporate firewall, and then just but bring the problem into the office. The good news, I said, is that it would take a while for the fraudsters to realize they’re sitt...

Mother of all Mergers

Imagine Steve Jobs saying Steve Ballmer just called him to say Microsoft decided to stop the development of Windows; that he just received a package containing the entire Windows source code; and that in what the industry will soon call the Mother of all Mergers, the two companies decided mutually to merge PC and Mac under the Apple brand. This wo...

Underground Ripples

The international law enforcement operation known as Trident is starting to have ripple effects in the fraud underground. Like the Darknet operation in October 2008, it is certainly a milestone in the minds of Cybercriminals, who feel less safe and anonymous. At least for a while. At first the fraud community shrugged off the arrests as an attempt...

James Bond and the Quantum Worm

Only select few have had a look at the script of the next James Bond feature film. It seems like Quantum, the secret criminal organization that in previous installments was busy short-selling the stock market by staging terrorist attacks and taking over water supplies to control the economy of South America, has a new target in its crosshairs: the...

Operation Trident

The bloodhounds are continuing to register notable victories over online crime rings. This time there were a massive series of arrests done in US, UK and other countries in relation to fraudsters spreading or cashing out on a major Zeus Trojan operation, which has been pestering US businesses for the past 18 months. In a clever multi-national inve...

The Bloodhounds

Five years ago, law enforcement forces were pretty clueless about Cybercrime and online banking fraud. National intelligence bureaus and police departments worldwide experienced a flood of unknown complaints about money going up in digital smoke, and were absolutely unprepared for the huge task of turning the tables on fraudsters. But today we’r...

My wife has a Trojan!

A couple of months ago my wife, who works for a small start-up, got a brand new laptop for remote access. A small, white thing that looked pretty but, I suspected, came with little security, given that whenever I shoulder-surfed her I saw warnings like “no anti-virus installed”. So when she wasn’t looking, I sat down to investigate. The first thin...
