CYBER ATTACKS

CYBER ATTACKS

Did you know that Cyber attacks for today exceed 1,523,196 and is about half a million less than yesterday's 2,043,871 cyber attacks. If you don't believe me, you can verify it for yourself here. The malware families that account for about 40 percent of all recorded attacks are from the Worm32.Conflicker, the Virus.Win32.Sality, the Cutwail botnet and the Neutrino Exploit kit. These treats have been  religiously turning MS Windows computers into DDoS and spam-spewing botnet drones for at least the  past five years. But now, that Cryptowall ransomware version 4 was released, corporate cyber security companies are on a back foot. This is exactly what is portrayed in the Series Mr. Robot when Evil Corp's entire data centre got hacked and  encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption.

Hacks taking place every the day

The trick to doing this, is to open a backdoor through some unauthorized remote administration software. Once this is done, you essentially own the target computer system. Trojans like Cryptowall, Netbus, Back Orifice and SubSeven have several customizable options to get the job done.

Looking at the daily cyber war far between attacking countries like USA, China,  Portugal,  Germany,  Russia,  Sweden,  United Arab Emirates,  United Kingdom,  Netherlands,  and Turkey, etc, and target countries like USA  India,  Chile, Sweden,  United Kingdom, Taiwan,  Poland,  Brazil,  Norway,  Russia, flinging virus and Trojans at one another is bound to strain relations.
