Most dangerous Malware you have heard of and How do you protect ?

We are doing most of the activities on the Internet, which earlier required us to walk in to get it done. All you do is to just open the required website and provide inputs that will take appropriate actions ahead. Given that We are living in micro sensitive era, with data and the security holding key priorities, it is imaginable how vulnerable it can be, anytime. What I mean is, there is always a gate for any private room and with red hats entering in, it can get dirty. So? We can’t stop using Internet, we have to do something to protect from the malicious and dangerous programs on the Internet.

We commonly use many services through the Internet including Banking and financials, which consists of transacting confidential information. This confidential information has become easy target provided that your network or website is not properly protected. This is even more evident in most of the e-commerce businesses, no matter what you sell, numbers matter at the end. Hence security is just not about protecting the norms of website but also the future perspective and revenue generation of your organization. You might have come across multiple spam scripts that read tell you mind blowing numbers to get your reply with banking details, but these are easily suspected and there are less chances of people falling prey to these. But the server side security breach is not under your control, hackers may try and get your business to the lows, destructing the trust of your customers that costs a lot to regain.

I am now going to discuss some of the dangerous Malwares that have penetrated the financial systems and continue to harm the total activity by stealing the private information of the customers. This is very important to note and take care,it has capacity to hijack the integrity of your website. Be it e-commerce, Banking, Investments, etc come under financial systems and they have same set of data to deal with, which are highly confidential. One of the Malwares, named ‘Tinba 2’ , 2 indicates that it is the second version. Wait, did I tell you that it’s back? Yes, the previous version was completely eroded from the systems after proper upgrade of web standards but the version 2 has come up with the new face and more damaging capacity in it.

This Malware has been mainly induced to target the financial systems, it does almost everything to keep the user trusted. It is capable of generating fake one time passwords and it has penetrated into the individual user accounts. Some of the transactions shows that the Malware has caused window dressing when it comes to showing proper numbers in the balance sheet but had the transactions done in the backdoor. These frauds are not so easy to trace neither investigate, It is advised to better be equipped than being sorry later.

What’s the point now? If you are nerdy enough to take care of security threats, fair. But if you are just a person who minds your own business, then you need to sign up for any of the better services available. Better service is hard to define but it is easy to assure full protection, which only few service providers do.
