The invasion of the Social Networks

With today’s population another means of social contact, or meeting people has became extremely popular. The social networks that are so prevalent on the internet are making it easier and easier for people from all walks of life to meet and form relationships across the globe. And as these relationships blossom, so does the carefree attitude about sharing personal experiences and information.

The thieves of today are also aware of the growing audiences of these networks and have already started to target their victims. According to an article in on BBC news, in 2008 these sites will become an attack vector for the hi-tech gangs who are now behind the vast majority of cyber crime. This data can give criminals knowledge about the names of employees at a company, insight in its managerial make-up or information about its processes to lend credibility to other attacks.

The big challenge for now and the coming future is for individuals and companies alike, is to recognize these problems and the vulnerability of these networks and find means to counter the attacks. By making systems more secure and more complicated, my not be as successful as just refraining from volunteering the detailed information that the thieves are searching for.

Using today’s technology
By G2S

Thieves in today’s society aren’t coming in through the windows or doors anymore, now they keep their selves at a distance and are attacking their prey by using the technology that so many of us depend on in today’s society. The internet not only provides us with the comfort of performing our every day tasks but it has become a way of life.

And the thieves and hackers are counting on our dependency to stalk and reap the rewards for using the same technology against us. Throughout the United States alone, the thieves have formed groups or rings as you may call them. They utilize technology to intercept financial data that is being transmitted from the businesses that they target and this has turned into a multi-million dollar revenue source.

According to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana  AP, in two States alone a cyber “ring” managed to steal information leading to tens of thousands of credit card numbers and costing over a million dollars in losses to the banks that issued the cards.
An expert with the Department of defense said such a scheme can get started by a thief with a laptop, driving around town until he finds a business with wireless computer networks. The thief breaches an insecure wireless network, then inserts malicious software — similar to a wiretap — in the merchant’s computer that will collect customers’ credit card numbers and send them to the thief’s e-mail account.
