ISIGHT Partners has issued a report on ModPOS, which they’re claiming is the most sophisticated POS malware they’ve seen.
Mark Bower, Global Director of Product Management, Enterprise Data Security for HPE Security – Data Security had the following to say about POS malware.
“Point of sale (POS) systems – what consumers often call the checkout system - are often the weak link in the chain and the choice of malware. They should be isolated from other networks, but often are connected. A checkout terminal in constant use is usually less frequently patched and updated, and is thus vulnerable to all manner of malware compromising the system to gain access to cardholder data.
It’s no surprise to anyone that Wi-Fi use continues to grow. However, what is hard to believe is that there are so few public Wi-Fi networks capable of serving our needs outside of the home securely—particularly when you consider that as of today, nearly everyone owns a smart phone, 91% use a laptop, and 80% have a tablet. The portability of these items reflects intent of use, which is, of course, mobility. But there is little point in being able to work remotely from a coffee shop, do banking from our phones while waiting at the airport, or make purchases from the comfort of a hotel room when there’s a high risk of having data stolen due to the lack of security when using public Wi-Fi.
