Social networking media predicted would be the target of major attacks cyber criminals. In fact, the frequency of invasion is believed to be increasing.
According to the analysis of Cyber Threat Analysis Center (CTAC), media social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Orkut and Twitter will still be the main target of such attacks in 2010. Similarly to the search engines such as Bing and Yahoo.
"The emergence of Facebook on the other hand also raises new problems, and the problem will still exist if the threat of extermination effort is limited to the symptoms by providing a menu of privacy in social media such as wanted by users, so that data security remains the responsibility of customernya but eradication is not up to his illness, "
Social media will still be one of the biggest problems, not only in the context of malware. Most malware will continue to haunt and infect the same way as email, malicious URLs, community forums, newsgroups by persuading potential victims to click on something.
Security firm ESET assess, in the form of data theft attack SCADA also still be there, but will likely be using a spear-phishing and malware social networking or even 0-days, and the Trojans rather than replicating malware such as Win32/Stuxnet.
But unfortunately the main strength seems to have weakened despite Stuxnet Stuxnet code can also be easily adaptable to attack all the installations that are not related, so that we can be sure that the use of malware for the purpose of sabotage is still speculative and remains an active investigation be done.
Moreover, scrapping tools on social networking sites such as commonly used to steal data, will reduce the burden for spear phishing attacks, which will bring on attacks on other strategic targets. With the more active users of social networking in Indonesia, are expected to each user to have the awareness to protect your account and computer respectively.
