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/
