Over the past few years, the personal data theft landscape has changed as online behaviors and activities evolve.
To better understand this crime, it helps to understand what personal data is worth to an identity thief. The average identity thief doesn’t steal data to use for him or herself. In most cases, they take the personal information and sell it on the online black market. It can be surprising what an individual’s personal information is worth.

INFOGRAPHIE - Des virus bloquent à distance les ordinateurs puis leurs propriétaires sont sommés de payer une «amende».
La supercherie, découverte aux États-Unis par le FBI avant de gangrener l'Europe, a provoqué un vent de panique à l'échelle planétaire. Selon nos informations, pas moins de 1284 plaintes ont déjà été enregistrées depuis novembre 2011 par la gendarmerie en France. «Ce n'est que la partie émergée de l'iceberg, car au moins dix fois plus d'internautes ont été infectés par le virus», précise le colonel Freyssinet. «Si une partie d'entre eux ont eu la bonne idée de ne pas verser la rançon, d'autres ayant fréquenté des sites illégaux préfèrent ne pas se vanter de leur mésaventure et tentent de régler le problème en bidouillant leur ordinateur avec les moyens du bord», renchérit-on à la Direction générale de la gendarmerie nationale.

A team of researchers have created a proof-of-concept piece of malware that can give attackers control of USB smart card readers attached to an infected Windows computer over the Internet.
In the case of USB smart card readers, the attacker can use the middleware software provided by the smart card manufacturer to perform operations with the victim's card as if it was attached to his own computer, said Paul Rascagneres, an IT security consultant at Luxembourg-based security auditing and consulting firm Itrust Consulting, last week. Rascagneres is also the founder and leader of a malware analysis and engineering project called malware.lu, whose team designed this USB sharing malware.
There are already documented cases of malware that hijacks smart card devices on the local computer and uses them through the API (application programming interface) provided by the manufacturer.

You turn on your computer and a message appears to tell you to update your Adobe Reader or iTunes or any software you have installed on your computer. You can’t be bothered right now, so click the option to remind you later – it’s a habit with these irritating messages, right? Then you have just opened yourself up to cybercriminals the world over.
Congratulations!
No piece of software is perfect or can ever be perfect. These imperfections within the code can be exploited by hackers to gain access to your computer. Once an exploit is found, it is patched by the software company which then sends an update to its users. This is the update that you keep ignoring. Until you take the time to click ‘Update’, you are vulnerable to attack. Your apathy is what the hackers are counting on.

The botnet, dubbed “Advanced Power” by its operators, appears to have been quietly working since at least May 2013. It’s not clear yet how the initial infection is being spread, but the malware enslaves PCs in a botnet that conducts SQL injection attacks on virtually any Web sites visited by the victim.

An app called InstLike promised free likes and followers on Instagram, but asked users to provide their usernames and passwords, turning them into a botnet.
Moreover, a user would get 20 free Likes if he used the hashtag #instlike_com in his own photo captions. A search on Instagram reveals that more than 500,000 photos already contain that hashtag.
All these features made InstLike a sophisticated ecosystem that employed thousands of voluntary "zombie" accounts — but it depended on their naiveté and willingness to give up their passwords.
For Narang, who is experienced in the realm of social media-based scams, the sheer volume of people involved is scary.

Bien que moins communes, les attaques provenant du Web, les vols de dispositifs, l'hameçonnage et l'ingénierie sociale sont assez fréquentes pour que l'on y prête attention. Pour réduire les risques, il faut plus que la simple protection d'un système informatique.

Les dénis de services sont rarement rapportés par les petites entreprises. Si vous croyez qu'une telle menace affecte votre entreprise, communiquez avec votre fournisseur de service Internet.
