Commenting on BBC business editor Robert Peston’s comments about the RBS/NatWest account access debacle on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Lieberman Software says that the incident highlights the reliance that many large organisations have on software code – and systems - that are well past their sell-by dates, and that banks don’t have the incentive to change.
This latest development in webinject marketing illustrates how the underground marketplace is following traditional software industry pricing schemes by offering a la carte and complete “suite” pricing options. Unfortunately, buying high quality webinjects is getting easier and more affordable, which opens the door for more criminals to get into the business of online banking fraud. Criminals are no longer bound by rigid malware configurations designed to conduct specific exploits at specific institutions. Criminals can now specify the precise exploit and target institution that they believe will maximize their ability to successfully commit fraud. And according to basic statistics, the more combinations of exploit types and targets attempted, the more likely it is for fraudsters find those that succeed.
