身份证盗贼的新花招———高科技犯罪





我们生活在这样一个时代里,从税务记录到信用卡资料都寄存于数据库里,数据库可以被任何有险恶用心的人和对此技术有足够了解的人所利用。

所以,当谈到高科技诈骗时,最常见的诈骗方法之一是“网络钓鱼”。犯罪分子们发送伪造的电子邮件,希望威吓或诱使思想单纯的人在假冒的网站上送交个人信息,而这些网站酷似那些合法的金融机构和其他商务机构。

也许你听说过“制药”这个词,在这个词里,合法网站遭到袭击,那些恶意的电脑代码秘密操纵任何访问这些看起来象合法网站的人,然后,不用敲键盘,就可以获得数据。

其中,最阴险的欺诈方法是按键输入程序,就是往计算机(也许通过病毒)里植入软件,它会记录用户的打字并且把它传回给一个身份相同的窃贼,然后再通过“屏幕截取”抓取并且送出你屏幕上的图象。

间谍软件是另一大问题。软件被秘密安装在电脑上,在用户不知情的情况下,获取用户的资料。它最无害的一面是,它只是一种骚扰,制造不受欢迎的广告。而它比较可恶的一面是,它可以窃取个人资料,占用带宽或控制处理能力并把它提供给别人。

当然,个人电脑并不总是与数字身份盗窃有关。你的信用卡和自动提款机卡都容易受到攻击———而且威胁与日俱增。而随着更多的公司把他们的数据库发送到境外,包括信用卡号码清单,你的详细资料被删改的风险或交易风险正在增加。窃贼们的下一目标可能盯上了受欢迎的博客和网络站点,他们会再次企图利用用户的信任。

因为高科技犯罪可以获取钱财,所以罪犯们会继续进行欺诈。毕竟,写一封电子邮件远比用一个滑雪面罩和一把枪去抢劫银行要容易得多。(读者文摘)

ID Thieves' New Tricks ———High-tech Crime

We live in an age where everything from tax records to credit card data resides in databases that can be exploited by anyone with sinister motives and e-nough know-how.

When it comes to high-tech fraud, one of the most common scams is “phishing”. Criminals send out bogus e-mails hoping to scare or trick the naive into giving up personal information on fake websites that resemble those of legitimate financial institutions and other commercial outfits.

Maybe you’ve heard of “pharming”, in which legitimate websites are hit with malicious computer code that secretly steers anyone visiting them to look-alike sites. Data can then be harvested without a key being struck.

Among the most insidious cons is keystroke-log-ging, in which software planted on a computer (per-haps via a virus) records everything a user types and passes it back to an identity thief. And then there are “screen scrapers” that can snatch and send images of what’s on your screen.

Spyware is another big problem. Software that’s secretly installed on a computer, it takes things without the knowledge of the user. At its most innocuous, it’s just an annoyance, spawning unwanted advertising. In its more nefarious form, it can take personal informa-tion, bandwidth or processing capacity and give it to somebody else.

However, PCs aren’t always involved in digital identity theft. Your credit and ATM cards are all vul-nerable to attack ——— and the threat is growing. And as more companies send their databases offshore, in-cluding lists of credit card numbers, the risks of your details being hacked or traded is increasing, he warns. Thieves’next targets are likely to eye popular blogs and networking sites, again in an attempt to exploit users’ trust.

While there’s money to be made from high-tech crime, the criminals will keep on pursuing ways of scamming it. It’s just far easier to rob a bank by writ-ing an e-mail than to go in with a ski mask and a gun,” he says. (Reader‘s Digest)
