1 How not to lose your computer or your research M.R. Muralidharan SERC IISc

2 The Battle has changed 08 Threat Landscape Shift 2004 Landscape Virus Threats are noisy & visible to everyone Threats are indiscriminate, hit everyone Threats are disruptive impact visible ( remove ) Remediation action is technical 2008 Landscape Crimeware Threats are silent & unnoticed with variants Threats are highly targeted, regionalized Threats steal data & damage brands impact unclear Remediation more complex, may need to investigate data leak Going through perimeter and gateway 2 Going after uneducated network clients and other endpoints

3 Virus Self replicating Attaches to another piece of software Runs when opened Affects the system in some way Harmless pranks Network slow downs System damage or data loss Compromises system security

4 Trojan Horse Camouflages a virus Looks like a legitimate program Will not automatically run Once opened Spreads virus May create another Trojan horse

5 Worms Self-contained Independent programs Do not attach to other files Usually spread over a network Behave like a virus, but are more likely to cause network slowdowns

6 Examples Viruses Melissa.A Level 4 VBS.Loveletter.FW.A Level 4 Trojans PWSteal.Ldpinch Level 1 Backdoor.Acropolis Level 2 Worms W32.Blaster.Worm Level 3 W32.Mydoom.A@mm Level 3

7 Program writers create them with malicious intent: Aim to harm a company by causing loss of information or money Seek media attention Seek access to private information to be used with criminal intent

8 Action from User and Administrator Antivirus program spy ware removal program Personal hardware and/or software firewall i.e. Router firewall and Windows firewall Updated/Secure software Windows Updates Microsoft Office Updates Secure, updated internet browser Understand that Security is a moving target no way anyone can assure 100% security
