Avira发布的2010年信息安全预测 2010年,网络犯罪将获得创纪录的利益 (作者Uigood,翻译错讹之处请见谅、指正, 请尊重译者的劳动,转帖发布请注明出处:卡饭论坛或美士信息,谢谢)
avira预测网络诈骗将通过对私人或专业用户的电脑攻击,来开辟一条挣钱的捷径 泰特南2010年1月29日消息 Avira预测2010年电脑将受到更多的威胁,这些数据的盗窃者,将更具专业性。因此,信息安全专家说:犯罪作为服务(CaaS,Saas为安全作为服务,security-as-a-service),换句话说,专业人士将提供非法的应用软件或计算机袭击作为服务,这将增加迅速的。 黑客可以用获得的数据用于非法的使用或转化为现金,这是为什么未来的威胁正集中注意在数据上。这些情况包括窃取信用卡账户与数据或者互联网服务的相关密码。另外,公司的保密信息也是网络犯罪的特别有兴趣的目标,为了保护自己免遭日益增长的威胁,配备一套病毒保护工具是必须的,或者计算机用户必须留心自己的计算机使用安全。
2010年的威胁: l在工商业领域增加的间谍行为 l数据绑架和欺骗。 l社交性网络和即时通讯网络是主要袭击的目标 私人用户 Avira推断滥用软件将有新的突破,他们将被做的更加精妙,以至于可以潜伏更长的时间,以利于数据盗取者获得最大的利益。较多的垃圾邮件希望网络访问(或数据通信)是最繁忙的,那样用户能被较容易地诱骗去访问其他的网站——如通过Skype、ICQ或者Yahoo chat即时通讯。像假的反病毒软件(或者流氓反病毒软件,流氓的安全产品)都将变得更具攻击力。 这样的软件愚弄使用者相信他的系统已经感染病毒,并且愿意主动购买假的防病毒产品来解决此问题。然而,用户实际上购买和下载的是无用的工具,一方面被骗了资金,另外也引起计算机更大的破坏。 这些正在增加的威胁包括下载时:因此,明显的有效的标志被放在相似的网站上,如信息入口处。假如某个用户企图通过这个入口访问网络,个人电脑将增加感染恶意程序的风险。被缩短的URLs链接,这些是很流行的社交性网络系统,这些正急剧的增加无用的隐藏着的破坏性链接特征。这些威胁特别应用于较多的访问网站,如Facebook、studiVZ、twitter,这些都源于他们持续增长的用户群和密集的交流模式。
商业的风险 Avira预测2010年利用因特网,有组织的商业间谍活动将会增加。因此,有犯罪集团组织的专业人士和有目的的商业间谍协作攻击公司数据,将快速增加。 特别是未来的几个月,Avira预测针对中小企业的绑架程序将会有一个快速的增长,并且许多的破坏已经被反病毒专家所知,如:绑架程序的目标就是企图获取对全部个人电脑的控制和加密硬盘数据。当犯罪分子收到赎金之后便释放对计算机的控制。BSI(德国联邦信息安全办公室 (BSI) )强烈反对为这样的要求付款,因为这样可能不确保付款后这些数据会被释放。
个人电脑组成的僵尸网络发布分布式袭击,当没有得到所要的赎金,便使用机枪式扫描策略让商业系统瘫痪。数据窃贼对云计算中存储的数据也颇感兴趣。另外,移动式设备和手机的增加,也是一个威胁,它可能导致数据丢失,对于信息安全的管理来说,必须保持高度警惕。
Avira会让我们处理病毒更容易 “使用我们长期可信赖的专业化反病毒机制,再增加主动防御,来帮助诊断和挫败威胁。”Avira销售和市场总监Travis Witteveen解释说,“我们的防病毒解决方案为用户提供最大的保护,使Avira的用户更容易地处理有害软件。新增的辅助功能,如:家长控制可以筛选出不适合孩童的内容,并且让商业客户的因特网冲浪更加安全。

原文及其地址http://www.avira.com/en/company_news/cybercriminality_2010.html Company News Cybercriminals set to make record profits in 2010 Fri, 29 January 2010 Avira predicts more attacks on PCs belonging to private and professional users, as fraudsters focus on easy ways to make money Tettnang, 29 January 2010 – Avira predicts that 2010 will see a further intensification of the threat to computers. This is associated with increasing professionalism among data thieves. Thus, the IT security expert expects that “crime-as-a-service”, in other words the professional offer of illegal applications and computer attacks as a service, will rise significantly. That’s why future threats are focusing particular attention on data that hackers can put to illegal commercial use or convert into cash. These include, for example, the stealing of credit card and account data or passwords for a wide variety of Internet services. In addition, confidential corporate information is of particular interest to cybercriminals. In order to protect oneself from the ever-increasing threats, a combination of current virus protection and a watchful eye on the part of the computer user are essential.
The growing threats in the year 2010 Increased activity in the area of commercial and industrial espionage Sharp rise in “data-napping” and extortion - Major attacks on social media networks and instant messaging services
Targeting private users
Avira assumes that new generations of malware will be programmed with greater sophistication so as to remain undetected for as long as possible, thereby achieving the greatest benefit to data thieves. More Spam is to be expected when data traffic levels are heaviest and users can be easily enticed to visit other sites – via instant messaging platforms like Skype, ICQ or Yahoo Chat. Known scareware like “Fake AV” (or “Rogue AV”, “Rogue Security Products”) will become more aggressive. This software fools the user into believing his system has been infected and offers costly virus protection to combat the problem. However, what the user actually purchases and downloads is a useless tool that, in addition to financial fraud, can also cause further damage to the computer itself. The growing threats also include drive-by downloads: In this case, apparently legal banners are manipulated and placed on familiar websites such as message portals. If a user visits an Internet site prepared in this way, there is a risk that PCs will be infected with this malware. The shortened URLs, which are so popular on social media networks, are increasingly misused to conceal the identity of damaging links. The threat particularly applies to much-frequented websites like Facebook, studiVZ or Twitter because of their continuously growing number of users and their intensive communication patterns.
Risks for businesses
Avira expects that 2010 will see a further increase in organized commercial and industrial espionage via the Internet. Accordingly, a rapid increase is expected in professional and targeted espionage attacks on corporate data from criminal gangs.
Avira predicts a sharp rise in attacks on small and medium-sized businesses in particular in the coming months. Many of the dangers are already known to anti-virus experts:
Ransomware aims to seize control of the entire PC and to encrypt the data on the hard disk. The culprit offers to release your machine again on receipt of payment. The BSI advises against paying such demands as there is no certainty that the data will be released after the payment has been made. Botnets consisting of PC zombies launch DdoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) and use this scatter-gun tactic to disable a business’ systems unless a ransom demand is satisfied. Data thieves are also becoming more interested in data stored in “clouds”. The increased use of mobile devices and phones also poses a threat of attack and data loss and must therefore remain a central concern for IT risk management.
Avira makes it easier to handle viruses
Despite the serious threat, private individuals and companies with up-to-date virus protection can protect themselves effectively against malware, thanks to the expertise available from Avira.
“We use our long-established specialization in combating viruses to help detect and deflect threats at an early stage using proactive mechanisms,” explains Travis Witteveen, Head of Sales and Marketing at Avira. “Our anti-virus solutions offer users maximum protection, making it easy for them to deal with harmful software. Additional features such as Parental Control, which screens out material that is unsuitable for children, makes surfing the Internet an even safer business.”
