Fortune 500 FTP Credential for Sale
Cybercrime is making sales on line and credentials to ftp sites is one of the latest discovered offerings. Finjan reports in ther Malicious Page of the Month report that 8700 ftp credentials of corporations and government agencies are available through the NeoSploit service.
InformationWeek quotes Finjan CTO Yuval Ben-Itzhak:
"There is a whole industry of buying and selling all these stolen credentials," said Ben-Itzhak. "It opens for us a new window to see how they really manage to infect all these companies and legitimate Web sites very quickly."
A compromised site is no longer of value to one attacker who discovers vulnerabilities, this kind of cybercrime collaboration shows how quickly information about site vulnerabilities can spread.
