Harvesting Exposed Data on P2P Networks: How Cyber-Criminals use the ‘Wikileaks Technique’ to Commit Fraud and Identity Theft

miércoles, el 28 de marzo de 2012 a las 10:15–11:00 PDT
Summary of Topic

Internet threats are unquestionably well-documented, but lesser know is the fact that unmonitored,
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing use presents a broad spectrum risk to organizations of all shapes and
sizes. In the age of Wikileaks and high-profile hackers, data breaches have evolved into a threat of
unparalleled magnitude. Business partners, suppliers, and customers that expose data pose a huge
risk to your organization. Financial data, such as credit cards and bank account numbers, as well as
account credentials, such as usernames and passwords, are highly sought-after by cyber criminals
on file-sharing networks. These factors greatly contribute to increasing fraud costs, cyber-crime,
and online fraud activity.
In this session, you’ll learn how sensitive information is being exposed, harvested, and distributed
across multiple P2P channels commonly unbeknownst to large corporations and law enforcement.
Leveraging P2P cyberintelligence insight will provide greater visibility and a readiness model for
effectively measuring and mitigating exposure, reducing fraud costs, and maintaining brand credibility
among your customer base.
