Kaspersky Lab said on patenting in the U.S. hardware anti-virus system to effectively deal with rootkits. As part of the new technology are encouraged to use hardware anti-virus - a device neutralizing the most common type of threats - malicious programs which reside on a hard drive or infect existing files on it. The patented anti-virus checks the data to be stored on the harddisk, identifies malware and blocks their entry. The device is placed between the storage device (hard or SSD-drive) and computing unit (CPU and memory), connecting to the system bus or integrated in the hard disk controller. When using hardware anti-virus blocks or allows writing data to disk, producing reports of threats and their actions to the user (the dialogue with the user is possible if the PC hardware tools for managing anti-virus). The device can operate separately or in conjunction with antivirus software. Due to the hardware rather than software implementation, the new technology regardless of the con...

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...

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...
