CURRENT ISSUES WITH CONNECTION IN

ATTACKS

Malicious code or malware is the generic term for any type of


software that attacks an application or system. There are many types of
malicious code; viruses, worms, Trojans, and logic bombs can cause
damage to targeted systems.

Current issue:
“Crooks skim credit card data from both large and small businesses”

 Form jacking attacks are simple and lucrative: cyber criminals load
malicious code onto retailers’ websites to steal shoppers’ credit
card details, with 4,800+ unique websites compromised on average
every month. Both well-known and small-medium businesses were
attacked, conservatively yielding tens of millions of dollars to bad
actors last year.
A Backdoor refers to any method by which authorized and
unauthorized users are able to get around normal security measures and
gain high level user access (aka root access) on a computer system,
network, or software application.

Current issue:

“Mac malware combines EmPyre backdoor and XMRig miner


Earlier this week”
 we discovered a new piece of Mac malware that is combining two
different open-source tools—the EmPyre backdoor and the XMRig
cryptominer—for the purpose of evil.

 The malware was being distributed through an application named


Adobe Zii. Adobe Zii is software that is designed to aid in the
piracy of a variety of Adobe applications. In this case, however,
the app was called Adobe Zii, but it was definitely not the real
thing.
