WEEK 8 Lesson 7
MALWARE
Malware – how does it get on my computer? Relies on malicious or hacked websites to download the payload
directly onto your computer
If your browser isn’t up to date then you may get a “drive by” download which downloads the payload without you knowing as it can exploit gaps in older browsers
Most common is to convince you to download software that you think is genuine, for example antivirus as the same site has just told you that you have a virus! The chances are is that you will be downloading a Trojan
As you have clicked on the download or accept button, your computer believes that it is genuine
Malware – nowhere is safe!
In August 2013 Steam, Konami, and Ubisoft gaming platforms were infectedhttp://www.tomsguide.com/us/steam-malware-ramnit-trusteer-hacking,news-17426.html
In February 2011 The BBC 1Extra and 6Music websites had been hack to serve up Trojanshttp://news.softpedia.com/news/Malicious-Code-Injected-into-BBC-6-Music-and-1Xtra-Websites-184546.shtml
In September 2010 the Radio 3 website was also infectedhttp://news.softpedia.com/news/Malware-Infection-on-BBC-Radio-3-Website-155980.shtml
In April 2009 Paul McCartney’s Official website was infectedhttp://www.infosecurity-us.com/view/1178/mccartney-site-serves-up-zeus-malware/
Malware – what does it do on my computer? In the past it might pop up a message or shut down your computer
Modern ones monitor keyboard and screen in the hope of capturing banking details or passwords
Others may make your computer into a zombie operating as part of a botnet, allowing your computer to controlled remotely without your knowledge (often used to send Spam)
See the infographic “Anatomy of an online banking heist” to see how your money can be stolen
Malware - Macs Macs are less prone to malware attacks but as their sales increases
so does the threat.
In 2012 The Flashback Trojan infected over 600,000 Macs
In 2010 The OnionSpy malware hid in a screensaver and spied on network traffic
In 2009 The MacSweeper scareware demanded $39.99 to clean up fake infections
Malware – what does it do on my phone? Malware is rare on iOS but becoming more common on Android
devices
Might be downloaded as, for example, a ring tone downloader
Could send texts to a premium number giving profits to the creator at the same time as increasing your bill. (estimated that 44% of Android malware does this)
Malware – how to avoid it Don’t install software from unknown sources
Keep your internet security and antivirus up to date
PHISHING
Phishing Often promoted via links in emails
When clicked, takes you to a website that looks genuine
You then enter your login credentials as normal but cant login
You have just given your account details to a hacker!
Recently happened to Xbox Live customers which allowed the hackers buy games and online items
Take the test to see if you can spot the phishing siteshttps://www.staysecureonline.com/staying-safe-online/quiz/
