Atlanta Security Company tackles Cyber Crime head on

ATLANTA - March 25, 2013 - PRLog -- New threats demand new responses. To deliver these, you need smart approaches that can ease your workload, and highlight only the important things. Protecting businesses against cyber crime is costing $90 billion annually.  
Cyber crime has continued to become more professional. In the past year, cyber criminals have used increasingly powerful and targeted attacks to steal information ranging from credit card details and other personal information to intellectual property. “Advanced persistent threats” (APT) are real, and all companies should be taking them seriously”, says telecommunications company AT&T. In the past year, the company has set up an IT security team dedicated to researching APTs and making recommendations on how to defend against them. Common methods of infiltrating sites include SQL injections which can result in confidential information being stolen for fraudulent activities, and cross site scripting which can result in visitor redirects, stolen account details and the spread of viruses.

The United States has established a four-star Cyber Command to provide coordinated military digital response after suffering massive data breaches. NATO established the Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence in Estonia after that nation was the target of extensive cyber attacks.

The question is: “Who are these cyber crooks”? They are known as the 21st century criminals who are taking advantage of technology to steal and generate chaos, affecting individuals, small and large businesses, and even central government agencies worldwide. All the information is online which makes the business of hacking very attractive to criminals, and a constant source of concern for companies, governments and ordinary internet users. Some of these cyber criminals are commonly known as pirates, phishers and hacktivists. Pirates are a more common sort of cyber criminals: the ones who deal with illegal downloading, uploading and sharing digital material they have no rights to, including games, movies and music. According to the entertainment industry, their losses amount to hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

The other type of cyber criminals,  phishers, are those who attempt to scam  people out of their personal details by means of emails stating that you have won an inheritance, or money and even organizations that would like to donate a huge amount of money to you. That’s called phishing.

Now we’ve come to the most controversial type of criminals: hacktivists. Unlike the first ones, they aren’t in for the money but to prove a point, and protest for things they believe in. They will use their programming skills to bring down websites or steal digital secrets to promote political ends, free speech, human rights and information ethics under the premise that proper use of technology can produce results similar to those of conventional acts of protest, activism and civil disobedience. Common examples of “hackitivism” are URL redirection, information theft and dumping and virtual sabotage, amongst others.

Finally, there are the APT agents (Advanced Persistent Threat), the cyber criminals who are skilled hackers with unlimited resources and ability to cause serious damage. These guys really worry governments, not only because they will do whatever it takes, but also, might work for criminals, stealing money and information as well as work for governments. A few countries have been accused of perpetrating this sort of cyber crime to collect information from overseas governments. This may come as a surprise to you, but even the USA and Israel, a few years ago, used hackers to access the computers of nuclear scientists in Iran.
