Finjan: Commoditization of market driving more targeted attempts When it comes to online data theft, credit card numbers and bank account data are so 2007. Increasingly, thieves are after more-specialized information such as health care data, single sign-on credentials for remote log-in to corporate networks and FTP account data, according to a new report from security vendor Finjan Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The report summarizes the latest trends in the cybercrime marketplace over the first six months of 2008.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest among those trends is the growing commoditization of some kinds of stolen data, according to Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer at Finjan. Until recently, he said, credit card numbers and bank accounts with personal identification numbers (PIN) were considered valuable items in the underground market.<\/p>\n
Technologies from Citrix Systems Inc. are being used by an increasing number of health care organizations to enable remote network access, Ben-Itzhak said, and stealing Citrix log-in credentials often allows data thieves to gain single sign-on access to a wide range of health-related information from inside hospital networks.<\/p>\n
There’s a growing focus on stealing log-in credentials that provide remote access to business networks as well. For instance, Finjan recently discovered a Argentina-based server containing over 500MB of stolen data and another server containing over 1.4GB of similar information in Malaysia. For instance, one of the servers had a cache of data that included passenger reservation data and flight scheduling information stolen from a major airline.<\/p>\n
