At least 48 confirmed companies were infected with a Trojan called Poison Ivy that transferred intellectual property to remote servers. [2] Much of the information known about these attacks comes from a white paper published by cybersecurity company Symantec (renamed NortonLifeLock ).
Major Companies Impacted by Data Breaches. Cybersecurity Awareness Month brings the financial impact of data breaches into sharp focus. In 2024, the average cost of a data breach soared to $4.88 ...
A cyberattack is any type of offensive maneuver employed by individuals or whole organizations that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks, and/or personal computer devices by various means of malicious acts usually originating from an anonymous source that either steals, alters, or destroys a specified target by hacking into a susceptible system.
Examples include attacks in spam filtering, where spam messages are obfuscated through the misspelling of "bad" words or the insertion of "good" words; [19] [20] attacks in computer security, such as obfuscating malware code within network packets or modifying the characteristics of a network flow to mislead intrusion detection; [21] [22] attacks in biometric recognition where fake biometric ...
An attacker could, for example, use a social engineering attack and send a "lucky winner" a rogue Thunderbolt device. Upon connecting to a computer, the device, through its direct and unimpeded access to the physical address space, would be able to bypass almost all security measures of the OS and have the ability to read encryption keys, install malware, or control other system devices.
The PKCS#11 [6] implementation creates a high-security solution for application programs developed for this industry-standard API. The IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) implementation provides many functions of special interest in the finance industry, extensive support for distributed key management, and a base on which custom ...
Repudiation is unusual because it's a threat when viewed from a security perspective, and a desirable property of some privacy systems, for example, Goldberg's "Off the Record" messaging system. This is a useful demonstration of the tension that security design analysis must sometimes grapple with.
Sniffing attack in context of network security, corresponds to theft or interception of data by capturing the network traffic using a packet sniffer (an application aimed at capturing network packets). When data is transmitted across networks, if the data packets are not encrypted, the data within the network packet can be read using a sniffer. [1]
