Hacking Becoming More Sophisticated

Hacking is becoming more and more sophisticated with criminal hackers not looking for your personal email accounts but going far beyond trying to crack online banking and government departments secrets. As per the latest news from the BBC, Criminal hackers have found a way round the latest generation of online banking security devices given out by banks. The highly notorious hackers have developed exceptionally sophisticated Financial Malware that is designed to avoid detection by your security software. After logging in to the bank’s real site, account holders are being tricked by the offer of training in a new “upgraded security system”. Money is then moved out of the account but this is hidden from the user. These Malware are not common and cannot be easily identified by their security software. The worst part is these software have no trace as they use third party to carry out theft for e.g your browser. Called a Man in the Browser (MitB) attack, the malware lives in the web browser and can get between the user and the website, altering what is seen and changing details of what is being entered. So it is attacking your browser and altering what you see and changing the details of what you enter.
