A whole lot easier then trying to crack some server.The Norton and LifeLock Brands are part of NortonLifeLock Inc. You then just sit back and collect CC numbers. Then it uses the user OE address book to mail itself to other victims and so on….

Then when 8 digits are inputed this proggy makes a copy of itself and sends off it’s data to some unknown IRC chatbot waiting in a unknown IRC chatroom to collect data. $hit a simple self-replicating trojan that has a key-logger built-in that only starts up when IE is luanched and only records 8 numeral digits along with a month and year value is all that is need. That’s because you never hear about the little guy who has been hacked and doesn’t even know about ! Not to mention the fact that it is not very news worthy to begin with as well in these days of rampant virii infections. You have to backup your statement, not me.” Criminals don’t want to steal credit card number one at a time. You get tens of thousands of credit card numbers at once. “Every news article about credit card data stolen were about the merchant’s servers getting breached. So, in conclusion, I’d say the security of Windows systems is rapidly approaching that of Unix systems. We also saw two bugs in Solaris which combined to form a remote root compromise: the font server buffer overflow and the prioctnl() module loading vulnerability. Of course, we saw a similar string of vulnerabilities discovered in OpenSSH. MS is looking for these problems proactively and finding many more in house, which allows them to release fixes before exploits for the bugs are in the wild.Ĭontrast this to before Trustworthy Computing, when one vulnerability after another was found in IIS by eEye. I’d say MS’s approach to security is much more respectable now than it was when Trustworthy Computing was announced. Of course, that vulnerability comes on the heels of a vulnerability found in CVS which forms the backbone of open source development. This affects virtually all systems acting as domain controllers. On the same day Bill Gates sent that message, a buffer overflow was found in the locator service on all (NT based) versions of Windows.
