It will also record all important operations to account as a gift, for example, attempts to change the password, or unsolicited mass emails. Submit Footage Clips to Shutterstock and make $$$!

Maybe for someone to be opening, but modern browsers can accept the URL is not only in the decimal system, but also in the 8-and 16-hexadecimal hexadecimal, and even a single 32-bit number. That is the type 66.102.13.19 URL can be represented in several different ways. 0x42.0x66.0x0d.0x63 0x42660d63 1113984355 00000102.00000146.00000015.00000143 Click on any of the options - and get on google.com. This technique has been known for a long time, but now about her seemed to have forgotten. Worst of all, forget about it, some manufacturers antivirus software that filters e-mail traffic for dangerous options. They block the link in its normal form, but passed 8-, 16- or 32-hex IP-address. The result is obvious: had already seen the banking Trojans, which reanimated these old math tricks.

For many people the word "hacker" is associated with the word "bank". This is not surprising, because for several decades, crackers , who wanted to "get" a lot of money, paid his calculating gaze is on the banks. And this is understandable: what can give the most money, if not an attack on a major bank? But to break into servers that manage transactions and accounts, - a thankless task. It will attract too much attention, and attention increases the risk of being caught. So much more interesting to the attacker's just another option - it is to gain access to the assets of one bank's clients. Quite simply: less scale hacking - more likely to remain at large - inverse, speaking in mathematical language. This is where I would like today to stay. In this article I make out the following: the types and the work of malicious software that specializes in banks and other financial organizations, social engineering techniques used by hackers, attacks that a...

For someone who retired a year remembered for the financial crisis for someone - the epidemic of influenza. For me the year was unusually rich in various kinds malvar as a template completely, and really worthwhile that wrenched me out of the usual cycle of events. In any case, it's time to take stock of "work" virus in 2009 and make projections for the future. To begin, as usual, with the unpleasant: the myth of the invincibility of computers from Apple, and, respectively, and their operating system (for individuals who spent the past ten years in a bomb shelter, do remark - an OS for Macintosh computers called MacOS) shattered. In 2009 was created the first "apple" botnet, discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the operating system itself, and in the third-party applications. Sami attack, I'll say straight, does not represent anything interesting - Unix architecture is conservative, and, if desired, players can browse the Internet, you can easily rewrite t...

This is not surprising, because for several decades, crackers, who like to «get» a lot of money to pay their tactical look at the banks. And this is understandable: that may give the greatest amount of money, if not an attack on a major bank? But break the servers that control the transactions and accounts - it ungrateful. That will attract too much attention, and increased attention increases the risk of being caught. It is therefore much more interesting for an attacker with a very different version - it is to gain access to the assets of the bank's clients. Everything is simple enough: less than the scale-breaking - more likely to remain at large - is inversely proportional to, in mathematical language. It is at this, I would like today. In this article I will explain the following points: the type of work, and malicious software that specializes in banks and other financial or...
