Internet Security Trends 2010
Posted by dian eko | Filed under Technology
In 2009, the year in which the various threats in cyberspace present incessantly just passed. However, the passage of years does not mean all ended well be facing the threat of computer users. Symantec, one of the major players in the field of security provides a guide predictions and trends around the virtual world of criminals throughout the year is 2010.
With the increasing threat of polymorphic and unique explosion of malware variants in 2009, the industry quickly realized that the traditional approach to antivirus, either by signature files and the ability heuristic / behavioral, not enough to protect against the latest threats. We have reached a breaking point where the latest malicious programs actually made with a higher speed compared with good programs. Thus, we also have reached the point where no longer makes sense to stay focused only on analyzing malware. The approach to security to find ways to include all the software files such as reputation-based security, will be key in 2010.
Social Engineering as a Main Vector Attack
More and more attackers to attack the user directly and try to outwit them to download malware or divulge sensitive information, with the impression that the user is not doing anything wrong. At least one of the triggers popularity of social engineering is the fact that any operating system and internet browser on the user’s computer, is not important, because it is so penggunanyalah targets, not merely a gap in their machines. Social engineering has become one of the main attack vectors in use today, and Symantec estimates that the number of attacks experiment using social engineering techniques will certainly increase in 2010.
Fake Security Software Manufacturers Increase His efforts
In 2010, prepare to see the perpetrators of fake security software makers trying to increase the level further, even to hijack the victim’s computer, turning it into useless and held for ransom. However, the next step which is not too drastic, is software that does not damage explicitly, but doubtful. For example, Symantec has analyzed several antivirus vendors who sell counterfeit copies of third-party antivirus software with other brands as they supply. In this case, the user is technically did have antivirus software that they pay, but the fact is, the same software, they can download for free from somewhere else.
Third-party applications will be Social Networking Targeting Fraud
The popularity of social networking is expected to grow even higher in the next year to make the number of fraud will also continue to offset the amount of growth in the site’s users. At the same time, owners of sites that will make proactive approach to overcome the threats. As this goes on, and when these sites provide more ready access to their API to third-party developers, an attacker may be targeting the existing gaps in the application made by any third party to penetrate into the social network user accounts, just as we have seen when visited the attacker’s browser plug-ins such as web browsers become more secure.
