Major US Payment Card Case Confirms Finjans Studies
Finjan Inc., a leading provider of secure web gateway solutions for the enterprise market, says that the major criminal case involving the theft of 41 million payment card details from nine US retailers confirms Finjan’s Q2 Web Security Trends Report findings on the latest cybercrime organizational structures and modus operandi. Each cybercrime organization is well structured, operates globally and has between 8-12 members involved. Based on Finjans discovery of a Crimeware server containing more than 1.4GB of business and personal data stolen from infected PCs and on the contents of our online conversations with cybercriminals, it became clear that these kind of cybercriminals are taking a highly professional approach to their frauds. The recent arrests demonstrate the essential cooperation between law enforcements around the world to fight cybercrime. According to Ben-Itzhak, Finjan’s Q2 Trends report indicated that its discoveries were clearly the tip of the fraud iceberg. The fact that nine major retail chains have been hacked and payment card details of 41 million cardholders were obtained, confirms this once again. Quelle: Finjan Software Inc. |
